You step from the shaded vehicle into heat that smells of salt and wet rock. The climb begins at Dunn's River, where water pulls at your feet and the falls push upward in bright, white sheets over terraced limestone. Hands link in a chain, the guide calling cadence as the cascade nudges you forward; the river has a steady will, coaxing small decisions—where to place a foot, when to pause and peer into a hidden pool.
