About this spot
This location sits in Dark Canyon, Utah, and is typically reached after traveling through Cataract Canyon on the Colorado River within Canyonlands National Park. The canyon is marked on river left on standard rafting maps. A roughly two-mile hike upstream leads to the jump site. Triplet Falls, a small cascade formation serving as a useful reference point, appears just past the midway mark of the approach. Continue along the canyon floor upstream to reach your destination. Most visitors access this area through commercial guide services familiar with the location. Water conditions vary seasonally, so verification before jumping is recommended—visits in May and late September have proven viable, though the pool bottom consists primarily of sand when approached vertically. Exit options include climbing out near the small waterfall feeding the pool or swimming downstream to walk out. The site accommodates non-jumpers with accessible swimming opportunities via the downstream exit route.
