This is another one of
those waterfalls that would be amazing if the views were better. The small stream
drops about 50' into the Green River. A trail used to lead above the falls and to
views from the base but it has been closed. The only view now is from the bridge
over the river which is about 150' high. Just downstream is a taller, seasonal falls
that is a nice little bonus. Hopefully the trail will be opened up again in the
future so this falls can be visited up close and personal.
