Comments: The falls are spectacular and def in flow is very exciting, nothing terribly difficult about the rappels HOWEVER that approach SUX! The climb up 1250 ft to just go down a steep valley 600ft to the drop in point is ridiculous. But it was def worth the effort. There is. A small 10ft rap just above the main falls I was not expecting and DCR of the big drop there is a perfect platform area with room for 4 or 5 people to set up. Great after work run.

Comment: Nice day out but very windy. The approach to this Creek involves some very steep downhill. Bushwhacking in loose dirt with a little bit of scree. It looks like several things have changed since the original posting and I'll update the page as soon as I can

Comment: The approach was long but ok, and we picked up a few ticks along the way. Creek flow was excellent—moderate and very enjoyable. Flow seems to track closely with Youngs Creek; Cabin Creek was low today under similar conditions.

The final drops are great; we plan to return with a 300’ rope to link the lower section just to try it. Despite the tough approach, the canyon was well worth it at this flow.

Comment: Fun trip, views along the trail are some of the best in the gorge. Next group should bring a drill and add a bolt to help the pull from R2. Getting to the current R3 would benefit from this added bolt too.
