Name of Waterfall

Rattlesnake Falls

Description

Rattlesnake Falls is an airy 92 foot plunging waterfall along the upper reaches of Rattlesnake Creek that would be a great attraction if only its stream held water throughout the year. The area Rattlesnake Creek drains from is low elevation and on the leeward side of the Cascades, so it doesn't receive a whole lot of rain at all, and I suspect the creek might run dry at the falls as early as June (earlier in dry years). When it flows I'm sure this is quite an impressive waterfall, but I can't quite attest to that yet.
