It's Dangerous. Just Is.

If you have trouble reading this email, go to the online version 06/30/14   Jump Around 5 of America’s Most Harrowing Cliff Jumps Warning: the following story features stunts performed either by professionals or under the supervision of professionals. Accordingly, UrbanDaddy and the producers must insist that no one attempt to... you know what. F**k it. You only summer once. Here are some really good/dangerous cliffs to dive off of.     TONTO NATIONAL FOREST, ARIZONA Saguaro Lake   The Risk: The cliffs range anywhere from six to 40 feet. Entry-level stuff. You’ll want to get a running start, though. There’s some rock-jutting going on here. Nothing worse than rock-jut. The Reward: Beautiful scenery. A good reason to go, “Weeeeee.”   411: Saguaro Lake, Tonto National Forest, Arizona, more info here     KIPAHULU, HALEAKALĀ NATIONAL PARK, HAWAII Ohe’o Gulch   The Risk: Slipping on the wet rocks. Losing your footing. The crowds (it’s a pretty popular cliff). The Reward: Laid out before you: a string of pools and waterfalls and, if movies have taught us anything, a Hawaiian woman whipping her hair back in slow motion.   411: Ohe’o Gulch, Kipahulu, Haleakalā National Park, Hawaii, more info here     RED ROCKS PARK, VERMONT Lake Champlain   The Risk: Mostly the 80-foot drop. Walk along the edge of the cliffs and you’ll see signs that say things like “No jumping.” That’s where you’ll jump. The Reward: Well, if you keep swimming, Canada. Or maybe that’s the risk...   411: Lake Champlain, Red Rocks Park, Vermont, more info here     MOUNT COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE, OREGON Punchbowl Falls   The Risk: Reaching the 80-foot jumping point is an easy hike. It’s the post-jump exiting of the lake via sheer rock face that’s difficult. The Reward: Basically landing in a waterfall. Also, since there’s usually a crowd cheering from the jump point, perhaps a nice round of applause.   411: Punchbowl Falls, Mount Columbia River Gorge, Oregon, more info here     PALO PINTO COUNTY, TEXAS Hell’s Gate at Possum Kingdom Lake   The Risk: Pretty much all of it. It’s illegal. It’s dangerous. It’s... just don’t do it. The Reward: Bragging rights that you jumped from the only US stop in the Cliff Diving World Series. But mostly just don’t do it.   411: Hell’s Gate at Possum Kingdom Lake, Palo Pinto County, Texas, more info here UrbanDaddy is pure editorial. You can't buy love from the Daddy.
