This is
a nice falls that is located on Highway 20 between Newhalem and Winthrop. The falls
occur where Highway 20 crosses about 200' above Gorge Creek. The area is well signed
and is a great little rest stop on the way to the east side of the mountains. During
normal water levels, the upper section of the falls is somewhat difficult to see but when
the creek is running high (like the picture here) the falls can be seen fairly well.
