Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

Peppermint Creek Falls is a very pretty 150ft waterfall tumbling over a rounded granite surface with views towards the Dome Land Wilderness.

The Needles was an unusual giant rock formation that is also known as a difficult rock climbing route.

Getting a good view of the falls required a rather steep scramble towards the base of the falls.

Even though the scramble was only 1/4-mile (each way), we definitely had to take our time.

That was because the terrain was both slick (from the loose pebbles) and the incline was severe enough that going down was a little scary.
