It\'s hard to tell do the falls face east or west? As this would determine what is the best time to shoot during the day. With the amount of tree cover it looks like only midday would be ruled out.

Kevin - mentally tracing our steps backwards to get to the location, I think the falls faces south but I could be wrong on that. If the Google Maps view is North up, then the falls faces west. On the Google Satellite view map I included, the falls fast to the left. You can take the Google link and mark where you leave the car and enter the trailhead. From that position, the falls faces to the left and I am sure about that part. Also, It is nestled is HEAVY tree cover and there is a large cliff with caves on the left of the falls. So I think you are probably correct in that midday might be the only time it would suffer from direct sunlight. Both golden hours would be perfect.
One other consideration is that you don\'t need to fear getting trapped in the woods in the dark by shooting early or late. I tracked our walk from the car to the falls by GPS and it is only 1 mile on a well marked and maintained trail. Just follow the white blaze.
