About This Waterfall
Almost immediately upon exiting small Lake Laura, Rocky Run Creek plunges over a gorgeous 77-foot waterfall into a large boulder field. Though not nearly as tall as either of its sibling waterfalls, both upstream and down, Laura Falls is an almost perfect freefall, veiling out over a wide shelf in the headwall cliff-band below Laura Lake. The falls are quite stunning, and make for an outstanding photography subject when the proper lighting exists. Rocky Run Creek at this point is almost entirely dependent on snow melt for sustenance and though the small basin above Lake Lillian retains a significant amount of snow into July, the falls become less impressive as the summer progresses and while it usually does flow all year by September is usually just a trickle.
