While nowhere near as impressive as its upstream brother, this is a nice little waterfall located in a cool area. Deadhorse Creek drops over a 3 tiered waterfall totaling about 50' in height. The falls are surrounded by some nice mossy rocks that are fun to climb around on. There are several more small drops upstream a little way but I didn't include them in the height. Getting to the falls involves some brush bashing but virtually no elevation gain and it's a very short trip. If you can't make it into the upper falls, this is a good consolation prize that is easier to reach. |
DIRECTIONS - Follow
the directions to Cascade Creek Falls. Continue
driving along the road. It will switchback to the right and then shortly switchback
again to the left. Park at the second switchback. You should hear the falls
from here. There is a flat bench (looks like a very old roadbed) that heads towards
the creek. The falls are only about 500' from the road.
