Falls drops about 80' in three tiers. Only the lowermost tier right
next to the road can be seen easily. The uppermost tier drops about
40' in a 15' wide curtain of water. Below this, the creek horsetails
another 20' before cascading down the 15' tall tier right next to the road.
The upper tier is extremely difficult to get a clear view of. I'd
recommend just taking a look at the bottom tier as you walk by.
