You'll commonly hear of left hand falls and this is the trail. As your trauma center bestie, I recommend do NOT jump, but rather slide in the warmer weather. I've lost count of how many broken legs and ankles we've seen from Left Hand.

The big waterfall is NOT what is referred to as Left Hand, but rather the first photo. See a video of this hike HERE.
