Hike description |
Beautiful
early spring hike when the water in the falls is full. Very steep hillside
with fallen trees in places. It’s a serious workout! |

Difficulty
|
This is a steep hike so being in condition is important. We’ll walk over the N Fork Coppei Rd hill, then hike across the steep hillside canyon wall to see the falls. Hiking sticks and hiking boots are important. We'll be going through brush, but no water. If
you’re not a steep hill hiker, you can walk along the remote road above
the falls with your dog and enjoy the wildlife until the group returns. |
