Practical detail

Before you go

Meeting guidance

Illustrative meeting plan only: the exact trailhead meeting point and start time are confirmed directly after an inquiry; the map line is not a navigation file.

Sturdy hiking boots are required. The final approach to the viewing platform is often wet and can be slippery after rain.

Trail notes

Heavy rain or recent snowmelt can raise the stream crossing and make the final approach to the falls unsafe, which may shorten the route or move the turnaround point.

This demo text is not a binding cancellation policy. Actual rescheduling, cancellation and refund terms must be supplied in writing before a booking is confirmed.
