Of course Bernie Falls itself is absolutely gorgeous. But what I did not like was being charged $10 to park and then told that we are not allowed to take our dog on a leash down to the bottom of the falls. This meant my wife and I had to take turns taking the walkway down to the falls while the dog was only allowed to be on the upper walkway. Paying to be told where I could take my dog and the outdoors is not my idea of any kind of relaxing enjoying day not to mention we were completely surrounded by many other tourists from all over it was actually quite crowded. I personally prefer a more private place where I can listen to the sounds of nature and have more Peace and Freedom. If I ever go back it will be only to show family members the magnificent waterfalls but it is not a place I will personally go back on my own.
