Overview
The only "KIMAKIA-frightening" thing about the trail is how much fun you'll have, so don't worry! This trail's crown gem, which boasts three breathtaking waterfalls (we mean that literally, watch your footing), has two decks because one deck wasn't enough to appreciate all the awesomeness. Ideal for taking pictures, taking in the scenery, and possibly acting like you're in a commercial advert. Expert advice: bring a friend who is afraid of heights; this is known as bonding
