Series of sculpted basalt pools and swirling river rapids framed by old-growth forest — excellent for close water textures, long exposures, and intimate landscape frames. Visit early morning or late afternoon for warm side light and fewer visitors; summer sees clear water but more swimmers. Small paid parking lot; trails are short but slippery — bring waterproof shoes and a polarizer. No permit for casual photography; respect swimmers and habitat.
