Waterfall Height:
20 feet
The second of three waterfalls on Allen Creek, Asleep at the Wheel Falls denotes the point where Allen Creek begins dropping into a deep gorge through the middle of Pigeon Mountain. Despite being just 20 feet high, this canyon waterfall is distinguished by a magnificent and remote setting within a vast amphitheater of towering cliffs. Its name was established by kayakers. The best way to reach Asleep at the Wheel Falls is via a series of gated forest roads from Rocky Lane, followed by a steep and rugged off-trail bushwhack into the gorge.
