Waterfalls

No matter what T.L.C. says, we think you should always go chasing waterfalls. Some of them here are easier to get to than others, but all are well worth the steps and effort.

Cameron Falls
This picturesque waterfall is right in the heart of town easily accessible by a short walk. The waterfall cascades over coluorful rocks and is surrounded by lush green vegetation, making it a popular spot for photography. For the best view, stop by in spring as the run off is stronger during spring melts.

Bertha Falls
This stunning 30 ft waterfall is located on the Bertha Lake Trail and is a moderate hike that takes about 1-2 hours to complete round trip or you can continue up as the trail steepens to head to Bertha Lake. Look around as you enjoy the sounds of the falls to find it surrounded by beautiful wildflowers and scenic views of the mountains.

Crypt Lake Falls
Located on the Crypt Lake Trail, one of the most popular hikes in the park. The trail is challenging, with steep inclines and narrow pathways, but the stunning views of the waterfall and Crypt Lake make it worth the effort.
