If you plan on taking the road up Goler Wash I strongly suggest that you pause at the canyons mouth and take a little stroll up past the falls to check out the road. I was up there a couple of months ago and the road resembled a steep staircase. If the middle falls are in the same condition or worse you won't make it without a winch. Walking up there first may save you the thrill of trying to back your vehicle down the twisting canyon a quarter mile. Apparently all of those little quad bikes have eroded all of the gravel from the road and left nothing but steep bedrock. They have also torn loose and exposed many large sharp rocks from the roadbed, so be prepared to stop every fifty feet or so to move the larger tire shredders.
