We'll plan to eat lunch near the falls. Bears are in the area. Dogs are allowed on leash. Please practice LNT (leave not trace). Bring the ten essentials including rain gear. Trekking poles will be an asset. There are a couple stream crossings. Be prepared for rain, stream crossings, and steep inclines.
This is a no drop hike. It is wilderness. If we need to turn around to accommodate a hiker, we all turn around. It is a demanding hike. Know your abilities. We will hold a casual pace.
If we have not hiked together in the past please contact me.
