DIRECTIONS - Continue downstream from Skyline Falls to this one. Then you get to either climb ALL the way back up to the road, or continue downstream to where the canyon can be scaled on the opposite side and then wander through the woods until you bump into an old lower road that will lead back to the main road. Neither route is enjoyable.

The unnamed creek I refer to as Skyline Creek (because it comes off Skyline Divide) is a never-ending series of waterfalls. It becomes pretty difficult to split it up, but I've done the best I can. Thus far, we have discovered four waterfalls on the waterway, but there is at least one more above Horizon Falls. Lower Skyline Falls drops over a wide 35' tall block-shaped drop before plunging 114' into a narrow canyon. The falls kick up an immense amount of spray such that the hillside facing the falls is a mossy cloud that would be a wonderful spot to lay down and take a nap if it wasn't so wet. While not quite as nice as it's brother upstream, this is a great waterfall in its own right.
