From a few weeks ago, here is another image of Boulder Creek Falls. This is the middle section, which is 26 ft. high. Boulder Creek Falls drops in 3 separate sections. The lowest is the largest fall, but unfortunately you can’t see all 3 cascades in a single view. The nice thing, though, is that the trail climbs from the bottom right up to the top of the falls, so it is easy to see the upper sections.

Speaking of trails, a lot has been done at Whiskeytown Natl. Rec. Area, to improve the trails in the park. I credit this to the park superintendent, Jim Milestone, a great guy whom I met a couple years ago, when he gave my wife and I a personal guided tour to Whiskeytown Falls before the trail was opened to the public. At Boulder Creek Falls, there is now a bench, plus a guided handrail so you can easily get right up to the base of the falls at the bottom. When I was here previously, it was difficult to get to the bottom of the falls without getting your feet all wet. They also cut away a huge log at the waterfall in an attempt to improve the scenic aspect of the waterfall, but they do need to do a lot more here. There is just so many branches and logs all over the place. If they could somehow get rid of them, this waterfall might actually be quite aesthetic to view and photograph.
