Description

Gorge Falls (20-30'): Flowing out of the other end of the boiling pool, the river is squeezed to about 10-15' in width as it pours over a sloping lip and into the depths of a grotto in the canyon below. Many will choose to just view it from overlooks above and again from below as they carry down steep stairs and slide boats over a locked wooden gate to drop to the rocky shore and the eddy in the canyon below.
