No trail ? How do you walk thru ? All these forests are THICK. You follow the stream ?

Yep, almost everything I’ve posted on here is “no trail.” It varies depending on the topography, but generally it goes like:

  • Scour Google Earth or LiDAR for potential falls
  • Check the USGS map for the road that gets you the closest & then figure out to get there from that point

Impressive. I mean really. Those streams are full of trees, boulders and steep walls. No easy walking. The bigger glacial rivers at least give you some shoreline and sandbars.
