The widest of the falls, is a<br />

spectacular view at the bottom of<br />

the trail or from Camp Isl<strong>and</strong><br />

which sits just down stream.<br />

From the bottomThe best view of<br />

the longest drop is from the bottom.<br />

While a tricky hike it is worth it to get<br />

a glimpse of the drop. The top you<br />

might recognise from my first picture,<br />

<strong>and</strong> can use the two for scale (the<br />

people are still in this picture too!)<br />

Risks!<br />

While an amazing place it is very<br />

dangerous. The sides of the canyon<br />

are steep <strong>and</strong> very slippery in places<br />

due to leaves <strong>and</strong> pine needles resting<br />

on the granite. There is no trail<br />

between the falls themselves <strong>and</strong> the<br />

trail it self is very steep. I would not<br />

venture alone in this area, any injury<br />

would make the hike out difficult.<br />

However if you can h<strong>and</strong>le being off<br />

the beaten path this is an excellent<br />

place for a few adventurers.<br />
