Plan your visit
Henry’s December 2014 visit followed a gated logging road east from Low Gap Road for about a mile to the upper creek crossings. Reaching Sentinel Rock’s base required leaving that road, finding a downstream bluff break and following the canyon upstream. No current maintained descent is verified.
The account describes about one mile one-way on the logging road before additional canyon travel. That is not a measured total to Sentinel Rock Falls or its return route.
