Upper Fall Creek Falls (Waterfall No. 1 on Fall Creek)
Photo by Mark Oleg
Waterfall Info: From the top, this is the first waterfall on Fall Creek (a tributary of Wildcat Creek), although it's the fourth waterfall you will get to if you follow the Wildcat Creek Trail from Wildcat Campground. The coordinates are for the most distinct part of the waterfall, the sheer 15-foot upper tier, which is also the most accessible. The waterfall continues dropping dozens of feet in a long run of cascades and slides that are hard to see from the trail and not really worth the effort.
