Parked at the visitor center and went up the stairs to the top of the falls. The watch only caught the last of the climb and then the whole way back down, so the numbers here are mostly the descent: 865 feet of it. The photo is from the lip, looking down the gorge the stairs come up.

Conditions at Sunrise
