At 60 ft, it stands above roughly 48% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
The falls are fed by Mineral Creek. You'll find it in Jefferson, Washington. It is protected within Olympic National Park (NPS).
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 5.6 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Forks, the closest town.
When to go: Spring (full flow) through fall. Expect the strongest flow in spring and after big storms, with a quieter trickle by late summer; confirm current conditions with the land manager before committing to the drive.
