Before you go

Go after rain or snowmelt

Most falls run strongest in spring and after storms, and some dry up by late summer.

Stay on the trail

Rocks near falls are slick with spray and algae; most waterfall injuries come from climbing or wading at the top.

Check access

Some falls are on private land or need a permit or parking pass. Confirm trail status before you go.
