Waterfall
You have to see this place! Two beautiful waterfalls on the same river. About a 45 min drive from Bnb. Swim in the cool water and jump from the rope swing! Short hike but worth every step. It’s a paved hike so nothing terribly difficult. Lots of stairs to get down to the first falls though so just something to be aware of if stairs are difficult for you. Wear water shoes or nonslip soles as the rocks by the falls do get slick. Gorgeous place! Plan to get there by 8-9am as it does get crowded later in the morning/day. Paid parking lot ($10) and and bar/restaurant on the property to eat at after your hike.
