Quick Falls-and-Park Double-Take

For a slightly more active but still brief outing, pair a second falls viewpoint with a nearby park for variety in under two hours.
If you want a touch more movement without overcommitting in this heat and haze, this route links two water viewpoints with a park stretch in between, letting you dip in and out of shade and mist rather than staying exposed the whole time.
