Update:
Access from Stehekin to the following four waterfalls is now much more difficult,
due to the closure of the final several miles of shuttle service road. It is now 12.3 miles
just to reach Cottonwood Camp.
There is better trail access to the area via the Cascade River Road as described in the guidebook.
