Sadly, due to over use and some vandalism they are now operating on a limited reservation system and shuttle to the trailhead. Above this pool is another large waterfall that comes down and feeds into these waterfalls. This area almost burned down completely during one of our worst fires in the area but it was somehow spared. The fire was the Grizzly Creek fire.

I’ve watched a bloated tourist rip a tree branch off to use as a walking stick to help propel himself up the step incline before.
