DIRECTIONS - Drive east on the Mountain Loop Highway east from Granite Falls to the Mt. Dickerman/Perry Creek Trailhead. Perry Creek Trail passes right next to the top of the falls at about the 3 mile mark. To get a clear view, continue along the trail until it crosses Perry Creek and climb down the opposite bank to clear views near the base of the falls.

Perry Creek drops over one of the prettiest waterfalls along the Mountain Loop just below the Perry Creek Trail. The waterfall begins with a beautiful 55' tall fan-shaped drop. After a few cascades the creek then plunges 16' into a narrow chasm before rolling out into the brush-covered stream at the bottom of Perry Creek Valley. The entire area is surrounded by moss, ferns, and some rather impressive cedar trees. If you hike the trail, it's definitely worth the short, and relative easy, bushwhack down the hill to get a clear view of the falls.
