Almost
every creek that runs along Highway 20 heading east from Newhalem has a waterfall on
them. Lillian Creek is no exception, dropping over a pretty 61' tall horsetail that
can be seen from the bridge over the creek. There are also several
upper sections that can be partially seen through the trees but no clear
views are available from the road. I recently made my way to the base
of the waterfall by following a very old roadbed on the right side of the
creek. It's very brushy but well get you there. I also made my
way to see the upper sections of the waterfall. It's not terribly
difficult to get up there. This upper section is a long series of
cascades that are pretty, but not super impressive.
