Miller River Falls

The East Fork of the Miller River produces a rather uniquely shaped cataract as it tumbles over a jagged ledge within a modest canyon hidden from view from the nearby roads. The river bends sharply to the east as it approaches the falls, and then upon pooling at its brink splits into two channels, the easterly plunging down a narrow chasm and then stepping down two smaller churning punchbowl-style drops, while the westerly segment spreads out and veils down the face of the cliff in a rugged cascade. The two segments are configured in a way that they effectively fall at 90 degree angles to one another, which makes viewing the falls slightly difficult (without modest scrambling). Framing the falls on either side are cliffs which rise at least 75-100 feet out of the river, and visible above and upstream of the falls the imposing cliffs on the east side of Cascade Mountain provide a stunning backdrop to the falls.This waterfall is not known to have ever been named in any sort of official or colloquial sense, but given the extensive history of industrial activity (mining, etc) in the Miller River basin we would not be surprised if it was named at one point. Unofficially the falls have been referred to as East Fork Falls and Miller River Falls - we chose to run with the later simply because it's a less generic title.
