Every year over 200,000 visitors descend on the park to traverse crowded trails to view some of the parks popular displays of rushing water. The large waterfalls attract the even larger crowds, but hidden in nearly every corner of the park waterfalls of every shape and size are waiting to be discovered.
This guided water-filled experience take you to some of the less traveled areas of the park to view waterfalls, cascades, and swirling pools.
