I’m doing the WC 100. Had never hiked it before so wasn’t sure what to expect at the creek. Had to take our shoes off to cross. Coldest water ever! Never felt pain like that before! Hiked on to the overlook but did not go to the base of the falls. Looked a little too dangerous. Did hike a little further up the trail past the overlook but couldn’t really make out much of a trail. Didn’t see any blazes. Several other hikers out even though it was February.

Perhaps some day I will venture down into the gorge. Definitely want to have a partner along just in case. I also want to go farther out the trail beyond the overlook.

People have died here. Caution is the norm here. I was there five years ago, and the falls were much more active. We took the trail to the bottom, and that was worth the whole thing. Very circuitous to get down there, but not difficult. The climb back up was a little tiring. We had to jump from boulder to boulder to get over the creek, but there must have been a better spot to cross. Seems like I remember a vertical rock wall that we had to use the existing knotted rope to continue down, and then climb back up. It was about ten feet. I’ll find my pics and do a blog post. Well worth the effort, and we were totally alone the day we were there. Great post and super picks. Thanks so much.
