Montezuma Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

On my day off from biking around the CR, I went for the hike along the Montezuma River.
It was the blast!
Packing list: bathing stuff, drinking water, snack, solid shoes/sandals (no flip-flops).
Please go EARLY, 6.30-7, you will have place for yourself and possibly avoid paying additional fee for upper falls.
Follow the river to the first fall, I didn't take a swim then but on my way back, take the stairs on the left. You are entering private property and they have right to charge you for the use of the trail but it is worth, if you have to pay. Don't go cheap and use the other option as it will kill you. Soooo bad!
Second,Third falls enjoy them fully. It's sketchy to get down but use the ropes on the side.
Swim to the edge of the lake and look down the fall.
Continue up the river for much more excitement and swimming options.
You can go for hours, decide when is time to go back based on available time of the day and your strength. You will have to hike same way out. It is drenching skipping stones for hours, be careful.
On your way out you will see why I suggested EARLY. People are everywhere!
On my way out I stopped by the first fall's lake for the swim just to cool down from the hike out.
It is the great hike if you plan it right.
