Parking and Trail head.
Photos taken here also include the Bridge Boof IV Rapids, and Fat Lady IV Rapids
I believe by the photos, that the Bridge Boof IV Rapids may also be the same as Hidden Falls
RUDD ROAD FALLS on INDEPENDENCE RIVER aka HIDDEN FALLS
BRIDGE BOOF IV-RAPIDS on INDEPENDENCE RIVER
FAT LADY IV-RAPIDS on INDEPENDENCE RIVER
Fat Lady is located in the section below the Independence River Falls. The photos are included under the Independence River Falls.
The Wall IV Rapids and the Independence river (falls on) are located downstream from the bridge. I firmly believe I had viewed the latter from the other road, as can see by the tracking.
THE WALL IV-RAPIDS on INDEPENDENCE RIVER
This section are the photos I had taken when we took the trail on the west side of the river, going as far as we could just below the dam. Another trip is planned to this location taken the trail on the east side to go further upstream for the other falls listed here.
