Boulder Falls isn't the prettiest waterfall around but it is impressive seeing the Boulder River tear through the massive, moss covered boulders.  During lower water periods the falls become much less impressive.

DIRECTIONS - Drive east of Arlington on HWY 530 for 19 miles to French Creek Road.  Follow the pothole filled road for about 4 miles to the trailhead.  About 3/4 of a mile down the trail, find a boot path heading downhill towards the river where the falls can be seen.  If you get to the switchbacks you've gone too far.
