As has been stated many times before, get there early or plan to park down the road which will add some distance to your hike. We arrived at 5:40am and got a spot but the lot was filling up quickly. (When we left we saw cars parked as far as 2+ miles down the road!)

As long as we kept moving, the bugs weren’t even noticeable but as soon as we stopped at all the mosquitoes started to swarm.

None of the toilets had any TP so I was glad we had brought some with us.

If you hike out to the falls, be prepared for several water crossings. Most have logs or rocks to help you cross but you might get your feet wet.

Parts of the trail were a little hard to follow as people had hiked up or down looking for places to cross the water so it was hard to tell which was the actual trail. There aren’t any trail markers except at the major junctions of where the routes meet. But it wasn’t too hard to figure out where to go and most of the time the trail was very obvious.
