Falls Creek Falls is a beautiful, yet powerful waterfall located deep in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. It has three tiers, first dropping 60 feet over a wide ledge, then spreading out and veiling over a 90 foot cliff, and finally it gathers then thunders another 70 feet into a huge bowl. The final two tiers can be seen from the lower trail. This hike adds the upper trail, giving you additional perspective on this magnificent waterfall.
