To get here, it is a one-hour walk starting at Clearwater Valley Road. It is a gorgeous trek, especially in the autumn, as you can see all the vibrant foliage.
Walking through the forest, you'll pass Grouse Creek, and then finally will reach the lookout platform above the waterfall.
Just make sure to hold onto your camera tightly when you take a photo, as it is a long way down.
Next, continue down a flight of stairs, and it will take you to the base for another fantastic photo opportunity.
If you want, you can walk into the path carved into the canyon to go directly behind the cold curtain of water.
