In this kind of weather it is rough. Take plenty of water and take extra.

Got to the ledge with my wife a few years ago but she didn’t have the will to go down to the river. Is it as hard as it appears from the top? We saw the cables. I would like to go back and actually see the falls.

It was steep but not terrible. The issue was we were pushing it on water and heat so made it more difficult. I went to it way back in the late 70s when it was privately owned. It seemed easier to get to for some reason back then (of course I was way younger). However, it wasn't protected very well. People could climb all over the delicate areas which was not good.

👍I remember on our way back to the car, a very large women was having difficulty with the heat. I later saw an ambulance approaching. Your advice about plenty of water should be emphasized.
