Google maps and another app gave it this name, and visitation predictably exploded.

I had been here once before several years ago on a Reverse Flatiron trip. Back then, route finding was involved. Not so much now.

Originally planned to approach from the road to First Water, but we got a late (for us) start and the road was a zoo. So we backtracked and went from the Lost Dutchman side. Probably more scenic anyway.

The “falls” were flowing a bit from the rain the day before, but not spectacularly. Saw several groups along the way and at the primary stopping point.

I explored farther up to the “goalpost” rocks, which had been my cue on the previous trip to turn up towards 5024.

It was a beautiful day for a hike. The clouds provided a nice backdrop for photos.

After finishing up; we headed over to Canyon Lake for an afternoon kayak.
