The rains have come!
Which means waterfall season is officially back!
Cataract Falls is one that’s been waiting to start roaring again, and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead.

And since the trails are about to get slick, here are my Top 10 Tips for Exploring Waterfalls Safely:
1️⃣ Wear shoes with real grip, wet rocks are no joke.
2️⃣ Bring trekking poles for extra stability on muddy slopes.
3️⃣ Avoid climbing rocks near the falls; algae = instant slip ‘n slide.
4️⃣ Don’t cross fast-moving streams; water is stronger than it looks.
5️⃣ Keep a safe distance from the edge, especially with dogs or kids.
6️⃣ Check weather forecasts, flash floods can happen fast.
7️⃣ Pack extra layers; mist + shade can chill you quick.
8️⃣ Leave no trace: waterfalls are delicate ecosystems.
9️⃣ Start early to avoid crowds and catch the best lighting.
🔟 Always tell someone where you’re hiking (even local spots).
