Flag Falls

You are forgiven if you think this is Phantom Falls on Table Mountain (my previous post). It is not, but it does look eerily similar to its more famous neighbor. Flag Falls is about 1.5 miles further past Phantom Falls, and is not really too difficult to reach. The hard part was crossing the creek above Phantom Falls, which was flowing pretty well. I managed to cross without getting my feet wet though. After that, the terrain levels out and it is mostly flat cross country over to Flag Canyon. You can see Flag Falls from quite a distance away, and it is an easy jaunt up to this lookout close to the falls. I sat on a rock outcrop eating my lunch and enjoying the view. Flag Falls is a bit smaller (105 ft. high) than Phantom Falls, but it is another very beautiful plunging waterfall.
