Thousand Foot Falls

Occasionally referred to as “Hidden Valley Falls,” this torrent of Roaring Creek is probably a good deal taller than a thousand feet and is considered the highest waterfall in all of Central America. The turnoff to the falls is located only a couple of miles beyond the Forest Reserve gate and is well-signed. From the turnoff, the road continues down for about four miles and brings you to the falls and a picnic area. View the falls from across the gorge and through breaks in the mist; US$2 pp. A small store and picnic tables can be found at the viewpoint, open 7 a.m.–5 p.m. daily.
