Wells
Creek Falls is one of my favorites. It is located on Wells Creek Road a short
distance before crossing over Bar Creek. The falls drop into a beautiful
amphitheater before rolling down a short canyon and below the road. Wells Creek has
a plethora of waterfalls along its route, but this is the only one that can be easily
viewed from up close. Getting a clear view usually requires fording the creek at
least once. It's not too difficult but something to keep in mind.
