Story

Most of our group chose to stay at the top of the falls. Zac, Jaren, and I elected to scramble down the waterfall to get a view from the bottom. When we got down a ways and turned back to the rest of our group, we could see that the trail they were standing on was located on the edge of a large overhang. Scary. Around the corner were several more waterfalls not visible from the main trail. I still had my swimming suit on from our rafting adventure, so I waded across the river to get some more pictures. The water was up to my armpits. There you have it. Fall Creek Falls.
