Where exactly is this?

 

It's Crab Tree Falls in GW NAtional Park... top of the Shoe Creek Trail. From the parking lot... about a 3 or so mile hike to the very bottom... which is alot further down than this pic.

 

Cool, I've walked about half way before but could never find the actual falls.

 

My first time attempting it also... was worth it tho, closer to get to from the road out but a harder hike. We walked alng the mountain vs the way from the road which is up the mountain

 

You you went in where the bathrooms are?

 

Yep, stay left at the fork... ended up taking me and John and Rich(2005TECHOMA and buddy) around 2 hours to go there and back. very average pace

 

Big Levels I take it

 

Yup at the end there were a bunch of puddles to play in

 

Were the optional hard lines at the beginning of the trail still chained off?

 

One of the side entrances was gated off. We went around and through the park which was open all the way through. I didnt see anything blocked off otherwise

 

There was an optional difficult line off to the right as soon as you start the trail that had a metal pole staked in the center of the trail, just wonder if it was still there.

 

I did see 2-3 of those... they looked like walking trails though

 

None of the center section was closed off. Supposedly they have the little 4inch yellow signs that say no vehicles but I didnt see any on the center section... They had some on other spots but the center was free game.

 

Most of the gopro stuff looks like ass. Someone forgot to wipe the huge water drops off the lens

 

two gopro's out there...

 

I have some video. Graduating Saturday so kinda busy. Will get it posted when I finish editing
