This was a very rewarding short walk. There are some well made steps. There are 2 places to view the lovely waterfall. The guy at the information place said that a scene from Lord of the Rings was shot here. My research shows that it was called Gollum pools. I highly recommend doing this walk.

Taranaki Falls

Reviewed By jshigi - Bellevue, United States

2-3 hour hike - Toilet halfway through the hike by the top of the waterfall which was clutch. Beautiful waterfall! Really enjoyed walking through this forest too. Make sure to check the weather, this hike was longer than expected and it started raining towards the end of the hike. Some people got caught in the rain storm when they were just starting the hike.
