Season
Hot and dry · September to October
The classic low-water season: the falls split into channels over bare rock, the gorge is at its most dramatic, and the heat is at its fiercest.
The most dramatic gorge views of the year in the hottest month. Go early, drink often.
Seasonal guidance for October, not a forecast. Confirm anything on the water with a licensed operator before you plan around it.
