This
pretty tiered waterfall can be seen right from Highway 20. You can scramble up the creek
for a better view of the main drop but the road provides a great view as well.
The main part of the waterfall stands 102' tall with an additional 50' or so
worth of cascades below. As you can see, during the autumn the trees
along the creek light up in oranges, reds, and yellows, making this a great
autumn waterfall if you can catch it running at high volume.
