How practical is it to wear a rain boots to reach the big water fall? Do I have to change to a regular shoes once I am out of the water? I carry a small dog for safely and the stability I have walk in the water. and stability I have to walk

I recommend wearing tennis shoes that are non slip and that you don't mind getting wet also bring a walking stick for stability if you don't have one they sell them in the gift shop at Eaton Canyon's gift shop, I bought one for both of my 2 son,(( about $45.00 apiece)) But they did have smaller less pricey canes around $20.

What Zesty Zesty said.

No rain boots. Don't risk a fall!!!!

I recommend wearing nonslip shoes that you can get wet and keep walking in. 2 weeks ago you had to wade across the creek at least 6 times. and carry a walking stick for added stability

Wear shoes that are waterproof
