Mud or ice makes steep little paths feel sketchy
Before you go
- Park in the roadside pull-off and follow the rough path downhill about 100 feet.
- The best view is elevated rather than right at the base.
- Watch footing, especially after rain.
- Keep expectations on the small side in lower water.
- Use caution around the lip and do not scramble for a lower angle.
