Gorge Creek Falls
A tall waterfall visible from a bridge on Highway 20. From the railing you can look down as Gorge Creek drops into a deep gorge. It's a quick stop along the drive.
Gorge Creek Falls is located along Highway 20, about 4 km east of Newhalem. A parking area and a short trail are provided beside the road bridge. From the railings, you can look down as Gorge Creek cascades in tiers into a deep rock gorge before flowing into Gorge Lake. The water is highest during the snowmelt season from late spring into early summer. The bridge deck is open steel grating, so anyone with a fear of heights should take care. Plan to spend about 15 minutes here.
