| Do not
miss... The pools at the base of the larger falls are deep enough for a refreshing dip. This site features large pothole pool (sites carved by stones where falls used to be). Because of high-traffic an rowdy campers it's best to hit this site early in the morning to avoid. |

|
| Photography Tips ▪ Bring a dry bag to keep your camera from getting wet, since you have to creek walk in order to get to most of the falls. ▪ Plan on getting wet as some of the best shots to be taken from the plunge pools of the falls. ▪ In order to get photos without campground visitors, get there early. ▪ See the Articles section for more waterfall photography tips. |
