DIRECTIONS - Drive east of Arlington on HWY 530 for 19 miles to French Creek Road. Follow the pothole filled road for about 4 miles to the trailhead. About 3/4 of a mile down the trail, leave the trail and head downhill towards the river where the falls can be seen. If you get to the switchbacks you've gone too far.

The Boulder River tears through a massive pile of boulders in an impressive fashion. Later in the summer when the river is low, this waterfall becomes much less exciting, but during the peak of snowmelt, it's worth the short trip from the trail to see.
