Buck Creek contains a series of four waterfalls in one short section of canyon a little ways upstream from the Mountain Loop Highway.
Middle Buck Creek Falls is another gorgeous fan-shaped drop into a beautiful pool. Like the other falls on the creek, it is surrounded by moss, ferns, wildflowers, and beautiful evergreens. I hate bad lighting on my trip, but if I can get back in there with better lighting, this is one of the most beautiful waterfalls I've ever seen.
