The head of Atwood Gulf is home to a pair of wet-weather waterfalls on the east brow of Pigeon Mountain. The main drop is a free-fall of 40 feet, and a second 25-foot drop lies just downstream. The falls are usually a trickle, except after heavy rain. Atwood Gulf Falls is accessed by a rugged off-trail bushwhack from the Chamberlain Trail.
