 This
waterfall occurs on a stream that begins on Grouse Ridge, near the
headwaters of Clearwater Creek. The falls begin with a 10' drop which
is followed just downstream by a 30' curtain of water pictured on the left.
From there, the creek continues in a tall, steep horsetail, spreading out to
25-30' wide. Unfortunately, from where I was on my first trip in, I
couldn't see this main section very well and I could find no way down there.
Plans are already in the works for a trip to the bottom so stayed tuned for
that. The overall height of this waterfall is probably closer to 200'
tall, but I'm waiting until I see it all before posting too big of a number. |

DIRECTIONS - I'm going to leave the directions blank for now. Once I
get to the bottom of the main drop, I'll post directions to there. |
