This stop wasn’t actually on our schedule, but it was so impressive we had to stop. It was literally one of those “whoa, that wall is sweet!” moments. It helps that we were here in an incredibly rainy year, but perhaps it’s just as cool regardless. It’s basically a large flat face of rock with dozens of tiny waterfalls running over it. It’s completely different from anything else you’ll see on your drive, and there’s a convenient pullout by the river. You can head down to the river and enjoy the views from there as well, but other than that it’s basically just an opportunity to enjoy the wall without causing a traffic jam.
