PITCHFORK FALLS |
RATING - 40.8
|
The left segment of the falls starts with a cool segmented drop of around 250' followed immediately by back-to-back 100 footers. The right hand segment does it backwards with two 100' drops above a super nice 199' tall segmented plunge. Below this the two creeks combine and drop another 100' or so, culminating in a 32' tall plunge as it joins Perry Creek. With enough effort (and it would be a considerable amount), it should be possible to get to the base and then scramble at least part of the way up the falls. I suspect from up close the 199' plunge on the right segment would be really, REALLY cool. |
