Stature
Ashlu Falls stands a total of 33 feet in height. The upper drop is about 10 feet high & its width is over 10 times its height. The creek then flows under the bridge & bends before then dropping another 20 feet or so through a narrow chute into a deep pool. On the north side of the lower drop is a large section of sculptured rock that, when the creek is high, is completely covered with water, making the lower tier roughly as wide as the upper tier.
gollark: Do you know about apio**cryo**hazards too?
gollark: Can we get this emoji?
gollark: I think you would need many. Or just bee-scale flamethrowers?
gollark: Those are another type of apiopyrohazard.
gollark: Well, "pyro" is general, it could be flaming or just fire-related-somehow or oddly warm bees.
