Description

An awesome steep slide, sitting nearly roadside, is worth the drive to see. If it has enough water, and it trips your trigger, go for it as a 'park-and-huck'. With enough water, there are various possible routes, but (reportedly) there are a few bad piton spots to avoid (if you can).

Downstream of the falls, much milder gradient continues just a bit before petering out altogether into meanders for the next two miles to CR4/Lax Lake Road and (just beyond it) the confluence with the East Branch, and the start of our final listed section. Thus, as stated in the main write-up, while you could continue your trip downstream, there is little of interest in the next two miles until the next listed section (after the confluence with the East Branch), so most will carry back up to vehicles at the parking area for this falls.
