Before You Go
Driver’s license required
You must be at least 18 with a valid driver’s license to operate ATVs or RZRs; bring it to check in.
Footwear and change of clothes
Wear closed‑toe, grippy shoes and bring a towel and spare shoes for the waterfall swim.
Hydrate and time it

The plunge pool and surrounding vegetation are sensitive—pack out trash and avoid soap or sunscreen in the water.
