Description

Upson Falls consists of three drops. The first drop is about 5 to 6 feet and has a stair step in it (which has piton potential). The river-right side may form a decent hole, so look for a seam in the center. The 2nd drop is larger, at about 10ft. The 3rd drop is small at only a few feet.
