Little Harriet Creek drops over a small waterfall just upstream from what used to be FR 25. The falls begin with a 25' falls horsetail that starts steep and gets shallower as it goes. Below this are two more drops of 5' and 10' in height that are like giant stair steps. This lower section is absolutely choked with logs and branches. Just downstream from that is a cool little slide at about a 30 degree slope over some cool bedrock. There are bands of quartz about 6 inches across that cover the slide. This waterfall is probably not worth the trouble unless your destination is the Lime Creek area. It's a noteworthy side trip but not a destination in and of itself unless you're a waterfall fanatic.

Creek. The falls are a few hundred feet upstream and a short, steep
scramble up the hill is necessary to view the falls. NEARBY WATERFALLS - Conrad Creek Falls, Crystal Creek Falls, Gibson Falls |
