What to pack

What February feels like

February turns over less from the sky than any other month, which the permanent grey overcast does a good job of disguising. In a hard winter the ice bridge builds up below the falls and the gorge looks prehistoric; it's not guaranteed, but this is when it happens.

Expect about 13 days with something falling — rain, snow, or the sloppy mix in between. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
