Comments: Could be a good creek on a day with better conditions. Approach begins on an easy trail but disappears into burn area regrowth, lots of dead trees to climb over and hordes of thorny brush to thrash through. The falls themselves are impressive but Mt Adams has been pumping out heavily silted flow all season, you def want to avoid getting that sandy water in your eyes. Water level marked extreme for the final drop, the flow was not close to runnable and we popped over a ridge DCR to rap down a much friendlier leg.
