BIG DEVIL FALLS

RATING - 4/10

TYPE OF APPROACH - Roadside

DIFFICULTY - Very Easy

LOCATION - Newhalem Area

TYPE - Plunge

HEIGHT - 200'

WIDTH - 25'

Big Devil Falls occurs where an unnamed stream drops off the side of Big Devil Mountain in a massive plunging waterfall of about 150'.  Below this, the creek cascades for another 50' or so.

On a recent trip, I noticed another fairly tall drop through the trees further down the mountainside.  This indicates that the falls may be much taller than what can be seen, possibly over 1000' tall!

DIRECTIONS - Drive east along Highway 20 through the town of Marblemount.  In about 10 miles the falls should be clearly seen across the river high up the mountainside.  There is a large pull out that offers the best view

NEARBY WATERFALLS - Granite Gorge Falls, Ladder Creek Falls, Newhalem Creek Falls, Newhalem Falls, Purgatory Falls
