Hidden
Falls is the first in a series of small waterfalls along Cascade Creek on Orcas Island.
The falls seemingly got their name from the fact that they are "hidden"
from the old service road nearby. A bridge goes right over the top of the falls for
a nice perspective. The more adventurous can work their way down to the creek bank
for a better view (especially if that stupid tree gets out of the way).
