As a parent, I get a lot of anxiety from pictures like this, but at the same time, I’d wager from where they’re standing it looks safe. They might not even be able to see the falls.

Absolutely fair point overall! Can say that the rocks start angling towards the falls even if you can't see it and they were really close to the edge. Overall to me the wildcard is holding a kid in your arms is a total unknown of possibilities so it's really taking a huge risk to (your point) not even see the waterfall itself.

Yep, there's a lot of waterfalls and rock faces in Washington that look perfectly safe until you put a foot wrong on slick rock, then you slip, then you become a sad story about why you don't go off trail.

Seriously. People do stupid stuff in these situations but usually the picture looks far more dangerous than reality. They are having a memorable moment and aren't hurting anyone else.

When did Washingtonians get all salty about this stuff? Didn't use to be that way.
