A waterfall with a split personality, Hanawi Falls sometimes flows gently into a quiet pool and sometimes gushes wildly across a broad rock face. No matter the mood, it always invites popping out the camera and snapping a pic. The falls are 175yd after the 24-mile marker. There are small pull-offs before and after the bridge.
