Meet at Aspen Grove & hike to the falls

Stewart Falls team members meet at the TERT shack just north of the Aspen Grove parking lot at 8 am on Saturday morning. After picking up the medical kit, chairs, small sun shade, public safety radio, and water filter, the team members hike the 1.5 miles to Stewart Falls.

Stationed for safety

At the direction of the High Camp Team Leader who is stationed at Emerald Lake, the team members stay at the falls from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m, acting as a visible safety presence. In the rare event they are unable to contact the High Camp Leader or trail head staff, the team is responsible for managing situations and notifying dispatch for any emergencies that required additional assistance.

Ready to provide assistance in any conditions

Comprised of at least one medical person and one communication person, the team is well-prepared for diverse scenarios. While one person can manage the falls alone if necessary, this is only considered when no other option is available. The team frequently provides first aid services to hikers at the falls and also provides directions to hikers who have accessed the falls from the Sundance Resort, as more than one trail leads to and from the falls from Sundance. The team is equipped to face any weather conditions or incidents that may arise during their watch.
