Description

A major horizon line appears and Bald River drops out of sight amidst a roar of water. Take out on river right and use the trail to scout Shallow Falls and Suislide. Going vertical off the falls will probably result in a good piton (hence the name, Shallow Falls), so try and land a little flat.
