wonderful place. had really good time for the short time i was there. just a weekend. the camping was great. camped at one spot up the hill which was very secluded and peaceful. then spent a night by the river which was very nice listening to the river. the hiking was great.spent many hours hiking around. great views. all in all was a great time and look forward to coming back.
Almost. We arrived around 3PM and the closer we got, seemed like a lot of bad ass kids were down there jumping in the water, just having fun, no big deal. That’s not the look I want. The early bird gets the worm on this one. NEXT TIME!
Amazing hike, getting into the canyon can be difficult but worth it!
Always a beautiful area and trails are marked well, however, when the leaves come back the area gets thick and you might have issues finding where trails end and begin so be vigilant. You can’t go wrong after rain as there are as many as 4 and sometimes 5 waterfalls. Summer can be heavy with ticks, so protect yourself. The area is also a “wet” area which means mosquitos, so again protect yourself. Areas on both sides of the road to camp. No electric sites. There is an outhouse. I don’t believe there is a water faucet so bring a filter to resupply.
We camped and hiked here for 4 days. It was a wonderful wilderness experience, but be prepared to really be roughing it here! There are many firepits but no water source unless you are up for filtering and boiling water from the falls, so bring plenty! They are very clear and a great spot for a quick dip. If you’ve never bathed in a waterfall
, this is a lovely place to try it!
