Young's Creek Falls

Youngs Creek Falls is a collection of small punchbowl waterfalls that carve a narrow gorge into the surrounding rock. It is very accessible and visible from the road. There is one rappel, and an small optional jump. Because of how short the canyon is, it's a perfect place to visit weekdays after work.

After turning onto Cedar Ponds Road, take the right hand fork after the road turns to gravel. Continue past the first bridge, and park in a large gravel pull off on the left after the second bridge. From there walk back towards the bridge and follow the trail to your left down to the creek. There is a sign by the trailhead warning you about dangerous water, multiple people have died after falling into the falls, so be mindful of that. Once you're at the creek under the bridge you can start rigging for the Descent!

Float and scramble your way through the lower pools of the canyon and enjoy the rock formations. Optionally, you can jump down from the left of where the first pool spills into the second. Depending on time of year and given the low angle of the rappel, pools within the canyon may contain debris. First person down should be mindful of rope tail. For similar reasons, when pulling rope be aware that major debris may be pull down the falls with the rope.
