Looking at a topographic map of the park, these ravines are basically narrow, cliff canyons with streams at the bottom. She somehow got herself into a trap that she couldnt escape from. She couldnt go up the cliff, and she couldnt go past either waterfall.
Since she was injured, it seems likely that she somehow fell into it and remarkably didnt break her neck, but couldnt get out. Luckily she had plenty of water available.
