- The 129-foot spring-fed falls Theodore Roosevelt reputedly called the eighth wonder of the world

- The falls run at a constant 100 million gallons a day even in drought, welling straight from the lava aquifer, and the mist zone hosts nesting black swifts — one of California's rarest birds. Arrive before mid-morning in summer; the small lot fills and gates close behind it.
