Pinnacle Falls occurs where one of the four major branches of Wells Creek drops a total of about 180’ in a series of drops. The falls begin with a 25’ tall horsetail which is followed immediately by a pretty 30’ tall curtain of water. From there, the creek drops over another drop before turning 90 degrees to the left and plunging 42’ into a narrow alcove in the cliff. This bottom section can be seen by following the creek upstream to the base.
Northwest Waterfall Survey
- Pinnacle Falls (waterfallsnorthwest.com)
Found along a headwater stream of Wells Creek. The falls, which drop about 165 feet in at least seven distinct steps (likely more), are almost impossible to view due to the twisting shape of the canyon they are located within. We attempted to survey this waterfall in 2013, but were unable to get any meaningful data or photographs due to the inhospitable shape of the canyon.
