Amazing to be able to stand between the two waterfalls. You can really see how powerful they are when you are here. Literally right beside them. Very interesting view. You can see the Cave of the Winds below very well. Also worth doing. This area can be very crowd during peak season. There is not a lot of room. Careful with pickpocketing.

This honestly has some of the best views in the entire Park. Other than parking this is a free area to visit. Sometimes this island can get a little crowded however it's worth it to get a view of the waterfalls that you are directly on top of or next to and to see the people down there on the boardwalks at cave of the winds..

From the moment you approach, the sheer, unadulterated power of millions of gallons of water hurtling over the precipice is almost overwhelming, a visceral roar that vibrates through your very being. The mist, rising like a myst...
