Head to the Crag
Jackson Falls is a beautiful area that even has a waterfall. Be prepared for a strenuous hike at times to get to the climbing areas. Hike may be between 15 - 30 minutes. Hike has a very tricky section for dogs. We recommend leaving them at home, but if you must bring your pets, please inform your instructor since this will affect trip planning.
