The first test of your Road to Hana discipline
Twin Falls sits so early on the route that everyone stops — which is exactly the problem. Fifty-five paid stalls, first come, overflow lot closed. Roll in at 7:45 and you park like royalty. Roll in at 10 and you idle behind a rental Jeep with regrets.
So here’s the local move: if the lot is full, don’t orbit it. Let it go, drive on, and catch Twin Falls on the way home — late afternoon, when the day-trippers have evaporated and the falls are still doing their one job. Beautifully.
The walk, the falls, the farm stand
From the lot it’s a mellow, family-friendly walk to the lower falls — one of the gentlest waterfall payoffs on the entire route. The farm stand at the trailhead opens at 7am with smoothies, fruit, and coconut candy; trail access runs 8am to 4pm.
Swimming? On a clear day, many do. But the brown-water rule applies here first and always: rain upstream means flash-flood risk downstream, and brown water means everyone out. No exceptions, no photos worth it.
Parking, money, and the fine print
The $10 parking fee funds the trails and facilities — pay it happily. And mark this one: the first Saturday of every month, Twin Falls is closed to non-residents. It’s the community’s day. If that’s your day on the road, your route simply starts at the eucalyptus instead.
