Bells Canyon Upper Falls

Just 0.6 mile past the Lower Falls but notably steeper — the grade stiffens as the trail climbs through the glacial narrows to the Upper Falls at 7,578 ft. A natural turnaround for strong hikers who want more than the Lower Falls but less than the full Upper Reservoir commitment.
