Cascade Falls is best known as a short hike to a dramatic waterfall—water from Navajo Lake flows through a lava-tube cave and pours out of the cliff. Above the falls, small natural pools give a lake-like feel that many visitors treat as a cool stop. The 1.2-mile round-trip trail has big canyon views and is a popular add-on for families. The upper pools are a unique combination of waterfall scenery and quiet water.
