Itinerary:

It's too hot for hiking, so let's play in the water! We will hike down to the floor of Talluah Gorge. Then boulder/rock hop, crab crawl, hike, and swim our way to Bridal Veil waterslide/waterfall. There we will play in the water until we feel like leaving. The waterfall forms a 75 by 25 foot natural smooth waterslide down into a clear deep pool.

We shall arrive at the park as close to 8am as possible We will go in immediately to get our passes. the reason for this is because only 100 peope are allowed to go to the gorge floor Once we get them then we will come back out and get our stuff to hike down. There are no flip flops or open toe shoes allowed. I strongly encourage you to bring quality footwear on this trip.

We go down 600+ steps and cross a swinging bridge to the floor. Which is fun... but remember when we are coming back we have to come back that way. So be comfortable hiking such terrain in hot weather.

Required Items to Bring:

Good shoes for hiking/climbing, river shoes to change into, bathing suit, towel, water or gatorade.
