Gulfoss is 4 miles east of Geysir. Nicknamed "goldfalls" because of the rainbow forming above its head on bright days, they offer a superb sight you can contemplate closer via a short-distance footpath (the footpath also leads to the bottom of the cataract). The falls rush into the 1.5 mile long canyon. Gulfoss gorges. They rush so fast, so you should be extremely cautious when approaching them.
