DIRECTIONS - Drive out Baker Lake Road to a gated logging road just across from the Grandy Lake Campground. Park and walk up the road. In 1.3 miles, take the left hand fork (straight ahead). In another 1/4 of a mile you will cross Grandy Creek on a bridge. You should hear the waterfall a few hundred feet before the bridge. You can kind of see it if you look down into the canyon from the right spot. Once you have found the falls, it's a very steep, very sticker-y, climb down to the creek and then you'll have a hard time getting all the way down for a good view.

Not too far downstream from Grandy Creek Falls lies this lovely lower falls. The creek tumbles 34' in back-to-back drops with a small pool in between. There is also a pretty sliding upper tier (see image below), but I didn't bother adding that to the height. On my one trip to the falls, the creek was raging, making photography difficult. I suspect with a smaller volume, this will be a very photogenic location. Unfortunately, it's pretty difficult to get all the way down to the creek thanks to the steep, crumbly hillsides. This would also likely be a little easier with lower volume as well.
