Before you go
- The main falls trail is about a mile on level ground; most visitors turn around there.
- An unmaintained trail continues along the canyon rim past the falls — this is the actual gorge, and it is not marked or maintained.
- No restrooms at the roadside park.
- Slate can be slick when wet; watch footing near the rim.
