Know Before You Go:

  • Bring lots of water!

  • Be aware that the gate closes at 5pm daily so leave plenty of time for the drive out to make sure you don't get locked in for the night!

  • Prepare to get wet from the powerful spray as you walk past Wapama Falls in the spring and early summer.

  • Continue on to Rancheria Falls if you'd like a longer hike.
