Skip
High flow, slick rock, or murky footing make the stop feel wrong
You need a guaranteed lifeguarded beach or easy water entry
Posted rules or access conditions make the stop unclear
Before you go
- Use the parking pin as the arrival point and confirm signs on site.
- Respect private land, roadside pull-offs, and trailhead rules.
- Check footing, current, and exit options before approaching the water.
- Leave gates, narrow roads, and emergency access clear.
- Source status is 'Additional waterfall, not fully documented', but still treat conditions as day-of decisions.
