[ Physical Makeup ]  [ Pictures ]  [ Maps ]  [ Update History ]

This is one of the more unique waterfalls in Washington. The left and main portion of the creek sprays down a natural slide, while the right side veils into a pool below. Although you can't get down to the bottom of the falls, it is still quite a site to behold (even in comparison to it's downstream big brother). Best seen during the high water season, late May to early July. This would be a very pretty falls from the bottom, and next time I am in the area, I will attempt to get to the base of the falls.
