Things to Know Before You Go

The gorge's icy waters come from snowmelt, so prepare for cold water if you plan to wade through the stream. Wear sturdy, water-resistant shoes as the rocks can be slippery. Pack a waterproof bag to protect your belongings, and bring cash for entrance fees or activities since cards may not always be accepted.
