About this place

Added by Angela Service

Take in this scenic waterfall with turquoise blue water. If you're lucky, you may see kayakers running the falls.

NOTE: Access to this hike is currently closed. A Part of this hike goes through private land. At this time, the landowner is not granting access to hikers.

There are no signs or trail head for the falls, but it's a popular spot for kayakers and photographers, so look for a faint boot path directly from the pulloff on Cook Underwood Road and follow it to the river.

The hike is short, but very steep, down a talus slope of loose rock and moss. There are sudden drop offs near the falls, so it is better to leave children and dogs at home. The climb/scramble back up to the road will definitely get your heart pumping.

Super accurate description… hardly a soul out there, except those crazy kayakers. Those minty blues look gorgeous all year round.
