About This Waterfall

This has the potential to be a fairly impressive waterfall under the right conditions, but as it was when I visited, the 45 foot falls had a low enough volume that only waterfall collectors would likely be interested. The falls drop into a fairly substantial gorge, which makes accessing the base of the falls difficult, so the only easy views are from the side. With the sun out - as was the case when I visited - this does a great disservice to the scene as a whole. I'd recommend trying to visit in the spring (as long as the roads aren't snowed in), or not at all.
