You will need to climb down to the river to get the nice view of the water. The current is slightly strong, and you aren't allowed to go in the water to protect the habitat. It does get crowded during the day. Condors can be seen in the trees and in the air.

Quite place, restrooms horrible, yes its dog friendly. Haven’t seen anyone giving entry tickets as that booth is always closed. Lots of picnic spots but not sure about barbecue if it’s allowed or not. Good hiking spot too for beginners

Great hiking place and it gained little elevation, have plenty of parking spots. Hiked here on weekday. Hiking was adventurous as I was able to witness mountain lion and then Snake (refer videos). I suggest to carry pepper spray and Some safety gears.

There are many trails and the place was super clean. The view was amazing and the nature was beautiful. There are also a lot of trees and parking spaces. We arrived around 2:00 PM but there were still lots of places to park. There are multiple open areas to play sports. There are also picnic areas. You are allowed to BBQ you just need to bring your own grill. There were restrooms too but no sink so bring hand sanitiser. It was also sunny so bring sunscreen and a hat. The tickets are $5 and cash only. If you have a dog it’s $2 extra. The place is dog friendly.

I hiked this trail known as "little Yosemite" a few days ago. It is a moderate hike, no shade at all, so wear a hat and sunscreen. Hydrate prior to hiking and during hiking. I had one of the little pools for myself for about four hours. The little waterfalls are about a mile away from the entrance/parking lot. Even though there are a lot of signs saying "no swimming," people still get in the water. It is cold and clear, and you can even see the little fish. Also, make sure you bring snacks and pick up after yourself. It was great to see how clean it was, no garbage. There is a $5 feed for the parking lot. People do pininics and BBQ up there. Also, there are restrooms all over the park. It is dog friendly.
