About This Waterfall

About 2/3 of a mile above it's mouth, Lake Creek drops down a scenic, but difficult-to-access gorge, studded with small waterfalls. This waterfall appeared to be the largest, although at least two more possibly of comparable size were also in the vicinity. At this waterfall, Lake Creek drops over a few small falls, then collects into a chute and plunges powerfully into a deep pothole. About 100 yards downstream was another waterfall, this one situated at a very narrow constriction of the gorge walls, but I was not able to gain access to it. Though this waterfall is located very close to a road, it's very hard to find unless you know specifically what to look for; in this case, a sheer plunge into a modest, but narrow pool.
