John Pierce Falls is located just off Highway 20 near Ross Lake.  A sign at the bridge tells you it's there (otherwise you might not even notice it).  It's possible to climb down to the base of the falls by following an old roadbed from the east side of the bridge.

DIRECTIONS - Drive up Highway 20 towards Rainy Pass.  The falls are around 11 1/2 miles east of Newhalem.   If you come to the Ross Dam Trailhead, you've gone too far.
