Why go
A short path descends through fire-shaped forest to a waterfall near the shore of St. Baring Falls explains the surrounding park landscape through cascade and forest. Use Baring Falls to compare cascade and forest with terrain ahead; let conditions around Baring Falls decide how this stop fits the day. Viewed slowly, Baring Falls also rewards attention to cascade and forest, scale, and changing light.
