Paradise Gorge

Paradise Falls in North Beaver Creek is a popular hike with a few potholes before a short waterfall. Just down valley on the East is Paradise Gorge, an unnamed waterfall tributary to North Beaver Creek someone described as being even more impressive. Paradise Gorge is a pretty stunt rappel with a short approach and return.

From the dirt parking area (44.76813, -107.79602), a half mile off Hwy 14, hike East cross country to an old road, which provides a better trail. Depart the old road and hike down the drainage through the forest to the top of the Paradise Gorge waterfall.

R1: 135' from a tree DCR. Because the waterfall flows at an angle, it is difficult to find a line which coincides with being in the flow for the duration of the rappel. The flow was minimal in late July.
