Hilt Creek has three major waterfalls along its route. Hilt Creek Falls is the easiest of the three to view. The falls contain three tiers: a 20' plunge into a dark grotto. a 35' tall fan shaped drop, and a 55' tall drop to finish it all off. | |
| DIRECTIONS - Head
east along Highway 20 and turn south onto Highway 530. In a couple miles, turn left
onto Illabot Creek Road. At the 2 mile marker is a small pullout. Park there
and follow the short but somewhat steep trail a couple hundred feet to views. It is
also possible to scramble to the base of the falls. To see the top tier requires
fording a small tributary stream and scrambling up a steep hillside. NEARBY WATERFALLS - Upper Hilt Creek Falls, White Falls |
