There was road construction in the canyon, so it took us quite a while to get up to Boulder Falls. When we got there, the area was packed. I don't know if it's always that busy, but there were a ton of people there. We all walked over to the base of Boulder Falls and took some pictures before heading back. It was nice but not spectacular.
