SATTLER FALLS

DIFFICULTY - Very Easy

Sattler Falls was named by Bryan Swan after Kim Sattler who apparently died near the falls.  The falls themselves are a little over 100' tall and are surrounded on all sides by various shades of green.  They may extend further up the mountainside, but you can't see that from the highway.  The area surrounding the pullout has a tremendous collection of wildflowers where one can easily waste some time taking pictures and in the fall the hillside around the falls displays an amazing amount of yellow and orange.

DIRECTIONS - Drive east on Highway 20 past Ross Lake.  Sattler Falls can be seen just after crossing over Lillian Creek.  A small memorial to Kim Sattler sits by the highway near the falls.
