I have been hiking Soap for over 25 years and this was my last time. Large floods during the summer made getting your pack down the waterfall alot more challenging. The fishing was awesome and the weather was perfect. The hike out however was one of the most dangerous I have encountered.
We took the high trail that goes up and over the waterfall and it broke loose with one of our party on it. If it hadn't been for some really strong roots on a bush 20' down and a good climbing rope we brought, he would have surely fallen to his death. As it was we still had another 90 minutes to go with a gash in his head that took 5 staples to close up later that day.
If you do go,stick to the waterfall trail. The high one is in really bad shape with no where to go but straight down. |
