We wanted to go rafting on the river. This was the best place to come to during the spring. The river was full of life after the heavy rains. The rafting was enjoyable here. I also got a chance to teach some kids how to raft.

The view at the waterfall was undeniably beautiful;the cold breeze was therapeutic and stress relieving helping me to clear my mind . The waterfalls provided an amazing backdrop while taking my pictures and videos. It's a nice place.
