DIRECTIONS - About a half a mile before Entiat Falls, you should be able to see Pope Creek through the trees. Getting close requires a fairly exhausting trek through an old wildfire area. Expect to climb over a million logs and be covered in soot by the time you get there.

Pope Creek Falls is a nice desert waterfall located near the end of Entiat River Road. The falls can be glimpsed from the road, but a short, fairly difficult bushwhack is required to get to the base. The falls consist of two tiers totaling 120' in height. The bottom tier is the gorgeous 48' tall horsetail seen here. There is an upper tier that looks (from the road) to be the same height and there are some cascades in between. The cliff around the falls was covered with a wide variety of flowers on my trip as well.
