Johannesburg Falls is the largest of the many small volume falls coming off Johannesburg Mountain.  The small stream drops a total of around 2400', making it one of the tallest waterfalls in North America.  While the height is amazing, the small volume of water makes this waterfall sort of a footnote to the beauty of the Cascade Pass area.

DIRECTIONS - Drive up Cascade River Road for about 20 miles.  Johannesburg Falls can be seen across the valley for a the last few miles of the road.
