Very nice and capable.. sooo an old stock runner had no problem climbing that obstacles… i see tons of videos climbing that obstacle with tons of mod and still fail.. Best mod is drivers mod!!! Good shit
Yep, I've seen a lot of videos of other vehicles fail on this as well. My friend has a decent amount of rock crawling experience, so it was cool watching him drive up this. 🙂
There's not really any shade, so bring water and sun screen/sun protection. It'll probably be more enjoyable in the morning before it gets too warm. The trail gets pretty narrow with drop-offs right before the last pillbox, so just be careful if you go to that one. Other than that, it's a pretty straightforward hike. I hope you enjoy it!
Beautiful! We were just there last month, but the rope wasn't there where the footholds were and there wasn't any water to cushion the fall if we fell. Unfortunately, we decided yo turn around. Bummed we didn't get to do yhe whole trail
Thanks! Dang, that's too bad you weren't able to do more of the trail. Hopefully you'll get another chance sometime 🙂. I know the water level on trails like this can change a lot.
Was it a sulfur smell or something else? I don't remember it smelling super bad when we were there, although a slight sulfur smell is pretty common at hot springs in general. I wonder if the smell changes depending on the time of year or other condition?
Hey! We parked just off the side of Hwy 89 at the Elkheart Cliffs Slot Canyon Trailhead. Then hiked to the top of the wash, which turns into the slot canyon. You should be able to find a map/gpx file with good beta online.
From what I remember, it's more of an access agreement/liability waiver forms you have to fill out. Basically you just have to agree that the land owners aren't liable for anything and that you aren't doing commercial guiding and stuff like that.

I had a hard time finding it my first time because I read a bad description of where it is. After you get to the first pillbox, keep hiking parallel with the shore line (Northish). It's not very far to the second one. There are also a bunch of trails that go inland and more uphill. Those are fun to hike, but are the wrong direction.
We just did this a few weeks ago on a REALLY rainy day. The falls were amazing! they were showing pretty strong that day (5/18). We got soaked but it was awesome.
It depends on how much you hike. It's just under 2 miles one way and about 900 feet of elevation gain. There's also not a ton of shade. So it really just depends on the persons fitness level.
Thanks! The anchors were all in good condition with new webbing when we went through, although that was last year. It's a very popular route, so chances are everything will probably be good to go, but I'd still bring some webbing and rapid links just in case you need to replace anything.
It was probably around 8-9 feet deep at the jumping spot when we were there. The water levels change quite a bit at these falls, so it might be different depending on how much rain there has been recently.
Great video except my heart skipped a beat when I saw your beautiful daughter buried in the sand. Please Google Sloan Mattingly Fort Lauderdale to learn more.
I used to go to Waimea falls as a kid with my family long long ago when there was only a narrow dirt foot path with a lot of big rocks to the falls. Later on in my teens my friends and I used to hike the trail to Waimea falls to go swimming in the pools below the falls and jump off the rocks into the pool. Life was good in those days. Brings back a lot of good memories.
Excluding winter road closures, you can drive pretty close. It's a short walk (0.5 mile or less) from the parking area, but has a river crossing with no bridge. The water was knee high when I went, but I'd imagine it's deeper in the spring time.
@@murphytravelsofficial thanks, I'll have to check it out! I've been looking into some other springs, the only one I know how to get to from memory is Jerry Johnson.
Thanks! So I've got the Jones Frontier, which I believe is slightly more flexible than the Solution, but I've really enjoyed it. I've ridden it for a few seasons now, and it's definitely a great board.
