The top of the trail skirts the Desolation Wilderness Area (permits required to overnight) and this might be an exit point if you've lightened your back.
The opposite view, Lover's Leap, sometimes has real rock climbers
(using ropes and helmets). But the falls is a great place for the young at heart. HIking stick and good boots help.
