Triple Crown Falls lies on a tributary stream of Racehorse Creek (hence the clever name).  From the Google Earth images, it looks like this falls can be pretty impressive in high water situations.  On my visit to the falls, the creek was at a very low volume, but the falls were still pretty.  The falls consist of a 20' horsetail, a 10' slide, and the 40' horsetail pictured here.  Even with the low volume, the falls were very pretty and I can only imagine they'll be more so when the creek is really raging.  I plan on making a return to this and Upper Racehorse Falls this winter when the water levels are at their peak to find out for sure.

DIRECTIONS - Follow the directions to Upper Racehorse Falls.   The creek this falls occurs on is a few hundred feet downstream and the falls can be seen from Racehorse Creek about 100' upstream.
