Bagley Creek tears
through a narrow slot in the rock wall and over a nice little waterfall. The falls
have three tiers that can be seen from the bottom: a 25' plunge, a 10' drop, and a
little 5' tall drop. The area surrounding the falls is probably 20 degrees colder
than the air a few feet away from the creek thanks to the icy cold wind kicked up by the
snow-fed creek. As cool as this waterfall is, it's very tough to get a
clear view thanks to the surrounding brush and the way the falls drop into
the canyon.
