The morning air tastes of wet limestone and cut grass as a tractor-pulled jitney rumbles through the working estate toward YS Falls. Banana palms lean like curious onlookers; sunlight dapples the lanes and the distant roar of water pulls you forward. At the falls, seven distinct tiers spill into spring-fed pools that dare you to jump in, while a canopy of blue mahoe and cedar frames the cliffs above.
