Before you go

Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.
