The off-limits area. Some of the crevices are large and you can get really trapped.

Look closely and you can see a mountain goat just under the Columbia Skywalk

Pretty steep, but they’re really sure-footed

Just down the road from the Columbia Skywalk is Tangle Creek Falls.

Lots of people would hike and climb around to get to the top.
