This is so sad to report. The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office reports a man fell off a cliff in Palouse Falls yesterday. Now he is afraid of dying. This is a VERY DANGEROUS area and you should be very careful when hiking and exploring Palouse Falls. There are steep drops, cliffs and loose rocks that make it easy to lose your footing. Unfortunately, such tragedies can happen if you don’t carefully monitor your every step. Please stay away from the edge and avoid serious injury or death.
