Hey nice photo, and good eye to spot it way down below the road. Seems like a random place for a trail maintainer to be :) the only two trails up that road are abandoned (they're still there if you know where to look). Your photo is better then mine

Well I was out on FR5410 today, and couldn't resist the opportunity of getting another photo of it. Thanks for the memo!

That's an awesome photo Brian. I've remembered how we found it. It was by chance when driving back down. We noticed the abrupt change in river level, backed and pulled over (risky) and saw the slot. We either saw a bit of the falls at that point, or were lured down to see what exactly was in the slot. I bet neither of our photos capture the entire loss of elevation. There must be another tier above. Or maybe not.

Oh nice. That's exactly how I found it too.

I climbed up to the first tier to have a looksee, didn't find any more drops.

Interesting, that certainly reduces the possibilities, Brian.
