The
first time we saw Rusty Falls was on July 4th, 2007. There was not a whole lot of
water coming down, but the falls were obviously quite tall. Micah named the falls
after the rust colored rocks at the bottom. If you can catch this one during the
wetter season, it is pretty impressive dumping down right next to Jackman Creek Road with
a considerable amount of water. On my most recent trip I was
disappointed to find that the trees around the bottom of the falls have
fallen and now lay across the lower tier. This is ugly and unfortunate
so hopefully someone who needs some firewood will come in and take care of
that problem.
