Essay Bro
Parking beside Hwy 180 a short ways east of
mile marker 4, you can walk down stream less than a quarter mile to this
waterfall.
You will find this area to be a place that
you will want to return to... time and time again. Upper Frisco Canyon is a beauty…!!! The way I like to do it is... to park
at the campground shown below at the downstream end of the Upper Frisco
Canyon... then hike the north-side canyon rim up stream 2½ miles to the highway
bridge and return by hiking along the Frisco River. You’ll likely have to do some wet crossings of the Frisco
River.
