Safety

  • Wet rock near waterfalls is very slippery, even when it looks dry. Stay back from edges and off the tops of falls.
  • High water after rain or snowmelt makes crossings and pools dangerous. Turn back if a crossing looks deep or fast.
  • Daylight is not a safety guarantee. Plan your time around the route, the weather and your group, and carry a light.
  • Check the managing agency for closures and current conditions.
