Buck Creek contains a series of four waterfalls in one short section of canyon a little ways upstream from the Mountain Loop Highway.
The Stag Cascades are a long series of small drops located immediately below the three main drops on the creek. The total height of the cascades is 160' in height. The highlight of the cascades is the small drop seen on the left that drops into an absolutely gorgeous, deep pool of green water. It's tough to see more than a couple tiers of the cascades from any one spot so the falls are less impressive than they could be otherwise.
