Crappy picture of Cadet Creek Falls from across the valleyThe Pride Basin on the north side of Monte Cristo Peak is home to a large collection of some amazing waterfalls.  On my one trip into the area, I forgot my memory card, so the only pictures I have were taken with my cell phone.  I will definitely be back in the area to get better pictures though so stayed tuned.

Cadet Creek Falls drops somewhere around 700', beginning in a small glacier and ending at the bottom of a 150' tall plunging drop.  Most of this can be seen from across the valley near Pride Basin Falls.  Up close views are probably possible, but it will require an amount of effort that few are willing to put in.

         

DIRECTIONS - Follow the directions to Pride Basin Falls.  The waterfall can be seen across the valley.
