    Yeah. I’m trying to think of a tourist attraction with a small waterfall, that doesn’t do this.

    The park staff is typically pretty open about it.

    Small waterfalls are seasonal, and tourists are, well differently seasonal.

    But that’s nothing that a little cheap plumbing can’t fix.

      Its not like there’s a garden hose at the other end lol. That would be more of a scandal but for real I was just at one last weekend and when I hiked to the top there was a road and a gutter system.
