About This Waterfall

The Elk Creek drainage is absolutely chock-full of large waterfalls. So far, I've mapped 11 waterfalls on it's various tributaries. Unfortunately, Elk Creek Falls is the only one of those that are easily accessed. This is the only other waterfall I was successfully able to photograph in the drainage. This waterfall occurs along the North Fork Elk Creek, just above FR 3358. Though there is a waterfall mapped in this vicinity, I suspect that it is not this one, but a larger fall, no more than 1/10 mile upstream. I will definitely be spending more time in this area next time I'm in the region.I've named the falls such because I wanted to convey the moderate frustration I had while trekking to the falls. Even though it's a mere 200 feet above the road, it took me a good 10 minutes to reach because of the thick brush, mostly consisting of sticker bushes. When the creek is running lower, I'm sure it should be much easier to reach.
