Virgin Creek Falls is a 15-foot cascade reached by a short 0.4-mile out-and-back trail at the end of Timberline Drive in Girdwood. The forested route is one of the easiest waterfall hikes in the area.
Its 15 ft drop is taller than about 7% of the 775 waterfalls we track.
The falls are fed by Virgin Creek. It lies in Anchorage, Alaska. The site is on public land managed by Municipality of Anchorage / Girdwood Valley Service Area.
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk in is brief — comfortable shoes are usually all you need. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.4 miles round trip. The nearest town is Girdwood.
When to go: Summer (May-Sep). Water volume swings with the seasons here, strongest after snowmelt or rain and lowest in late summer, so check recent streamflow before you go.
