Falls Creek tumbles in a series of cascades along the steep Falls Creek Trail in Chugach State Park, beginning at a turnout near mile 105.6 of the Seward Highway. The rough, steep route climbs above tree line toward wildflower meadows and Dall sheep country.
Falls Creek Falls sits on Falls Creek. You'll find it in Anchorage, Alaska. It is protected within Chugach State Park (Alaska State Parks).
This is a moderate hike waterfall: a longer day hike, roughly one to several miles each way. Plan for a moderate hike; sturdy shoes, water, and a little time on the trail are worth bringing. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 2 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Indian, the closest town.
When to go: Summer (Jun-Sep). Like most waterfalls, Falls Creek Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
