Usually this trail is combined with multi-day backpacks. For example, there's one between Skógar and Ţórsmörk with a mountain hut at Fimmvörđuháls. Others extend this hike all the way to Landmannalaugur.

Below, I've displayed photographs of the noteable waterfalls from my day hike in the order you'd see them from the top down. See if this page alone might induce waterfall fatigue :)
