Based
on the Topo maps, there's a pretty good chance that this is a pretty tall waterfall (over
200'). The part that can be seen from the road consists of the 25' tall fan and the
60' tall segmented drop above it with a little 5' drop in between. The upper tier is
interesting with the majority of the water dropping over the left side in a funky s-shaped
drop that fans out on its way down, before turning 90 degrees and cascading down to meet
the right half. It's possible to climb up the side of the bottom tier to get a
better view of the top but taking pictures from up there would require a fisheye lens.
The fan shaped drop next to the road is very photogenic.
