Do if you park in the lots it is possible to walk to the falls with no steps, the big park is st the top of the falls. If you use the west side street parking I am guessing 14-28 steps. If you wish to hike the bottom of the falls I would estimate 22-26 steps. There are landings and people of all skills so if you go a few and rest no worries. The falls are beautiful from the top. I’m estimating but it’s s bit of exercise to do the walking
