Grandy Creek contains a long series of drops located just upstream from a
logging road. I had been to the base of the falls once several years
ago, but didn't get to see the main part of the waterfall until my most
recent trip. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the waterfall is
much more significant than I originally thought. Not only is it taller
and much steeper than I thought, but the three main sections are remarkably
beautiful. The falls drop a total of 248' in height. About half
of that height is made up of three main sections, with the remainder
consisting of the various slides and cascades in between. The upper of
the three main sections is the two-tiered 51' drop seen above. The
middle section is a gorgeous 37' tall drop, and the lower of the main tiers
is a 43' tall double drop.

DIRECTIONS - Drive out Baker Lake Road to a gated
logging road just across from the Grandy Lake Campground. Park and walk up
the road. In 1.3 miles, take the left hand fork (straight ahead). In
another 1/4 of a mile you will cross Grandy Creek on a bridge. Head up the
creekbed to the bottom of the falls. Getting views of the main parts of the
falls is really tough and involves some very steep climbs around the walls
of the canyon.
