IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

-do not let dogs or small children drink the river water. Even for adults, you need to filter it. The river feeds out of Zion which is known to have algae spores that can be fatal when consumed. Bring plenty of water!

• pack in a bathroom system!
• MUST have a 4x4, high clearance vechicle. Do no attempt if not confident in this area!

I’m sure this place used to be amazing, but it’s obvious that it’s a party spot with no clean up efforts. Even the road in was littered with beer cans all 3 miles in.

Once at the falls and in the campsite areas, there is toilet paper, feces, and garbage everywhere. It’s a popular waterhole by day and party spot by night, so expect people to be bumping music, lighting fireworks, and parking in the river (which is also a crossing!) for photo ops. We camped on a weekend, and had people rolling in at 2am (which is insane, that road is not friendly after dark!) yelling and partying for an hour, then loudly driving back.

It’s a beautiful place so if you have the opportunity to go during the week, I’d recommend that. Remember to leave no trace and maybe even pack out extras!
