The lower Johnston Falls are very easy to reach, but a completely wet experience. Plan this trip as a "day off" or an easy start before moving on to more challenging destinations, as it really doesn't take much to get there and enjoy some beautiful views.

Hiking

After another 2.7 kilometers you will reach the Upper Falls, which look much more impressive and are about 30 meters high.

Hiking

A great hike to the lower and upper waterfalls. However, something very crowded. I can recommend sturdy shoes. Also suitable for inexperienced hikers. However, it is already a bit uphill.
