Interesting. They list Split Rock as closed to swimming, which is news to me, unless this has happened since last summer, it was fully accessible to swimming, jumping off cliffs, etc. I'm not sure how they'd close it off, it would be almost impossible to enforce unless an officer was there 24/7/365.

They also list a falls on the upper Bouquet as Shoe Box Falls, not sure where this name comes from. I posted about it here, looks like I need to fix some links in that post, Imageshack has been wonky lately and some of my pictures have come up missing.

I've also never heard of the falls they call Angel Falls being called that. In the same thread, pics here. We just call it the Flume or Route 73 Flume. I did not know about the cave behind the waterfall, though, sounds interesting.
