 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. |
