We happened across this beautiful set of tiered falls by chance. We saw a pull off along FS 23 with a stream. My mom wanted to check it out and we discovered there was a waterfall. There was an unmarked trail that climbed up alongside the falls to the top. We were shocked when we came across another waterfall above the first one. It was stunning. Brilliant green, moss covered rocks framed the falls. This was one of the most exciting places we happened across on our lake bagging day.
