Trip leader, Al, shows the group how to go around and behind the falls, to emerge through the forceful flow.

Shinumo is a short and easy hike from the Colorado River’s edge, in the Grand Canyon, with the reward being this beautiful waterfall that you can swim and play in to cool off from the day’s hot travels. For an extra bit of fun, people can climb around a set of gaps next to the waterfall to get behind it, and then emerge through the waterfall itself, like several of my friends did.
