Driving up to this park, it's hard to believe there's much to see until you get right there. The canyon opens up abruptly and it is impressive! We visited in April and loved it so much we returned … Full review by Cello12345

DO NOT GO HERE. The whole waterfall is blocked off and they still charge you $10. You can’t get any closer than about a quarter mile. I included a picture of how close you can get. Full review by Nathan C

This place is off the beaten path, down a long dirt road. But once here, it was worth it. It is amazing how out in the middle of nowhere there is this huge waterfall! Great place to sit in the shade … Full review by Reigo
Planning to go on Saturday 15th June from Pullman. At what time should we reach there to enjoy its beauty and how much time is typically spent there?

While it is definitely less crowded in the morning, the sun will be directly in your eyes looking at the falls at that time. The ideal time to visit, IMO, is later in the day around 4pm up until sunset as the sun will be behind you. The later in the day you visit, the less people will be there. The views from near the parking lot are great. But you should definitely hike about 1/4 mi. to the south and about 1/2 mi. to the north along the ridge to get other great perspectives of the falls. All in all, you could spend 1.5-2 hrs here pretty easily.
I’ve heard it can be over-crowded on the weekends. Is it worth the large crowds? Thanks

Crowds are relative. It's not crowded to the point you feel like you're in Yosemite Valley or Disneyland or anything like that. From about 1/2 mi. to the north and south of the main parking lot there are viewing places along the rim to observe the falls from different perspectives. The busiest time will be late morning-mid afternoon. If you arrive in the early morning, unfortunately the sun may be in your eyes, obscuring pictures. But if you arrive after 4pm you should have awesome pictures and way less crowds because more people will be on their way for dinner somewhere (a long drive away!). If the park gets too busy, they actually close the 2 mi. entrance road for a little while until more people leave. That helps keep the crowds down.
