Devil Creek Falls

Boulder Cave is one of the more popular tourist draws in the Naches area, with the scenic canyon carved by tiny Devil Creek as an added bonus attraction. The lower falls on Devil Creek round out the trifecta for visitors to the Boulder Cave Recreation area. However, Devil Creek Falls - the only officially named waterfall on the creek - is itself just as worthy of a visit, yet is almost invisible to the throngs of tourists who will visit Boulder Cave just half a mile downstream. The falls start off as a narrow slide that dumps over three successive ledges 5 to 8 feet tall apiece. At the bottom of the third ledge, a small tributary stream joins in and then the waters of both immediately drop over the final 57 foot fall into a dark grotto, framed by huge boulders fallen off the canyon wall, tall cedars growing out of the creek and a sapphire blue pool below. Because of the small drainage of Devil Creek, the falls lose much of its oomph by the end of June, but Devil Creek does flow all year, so there will be some amount of water no matter when it is visited.
