DIRECTIONS - Hike the Heliotrope Ridge Trail for about two miles. You will cross Kulshan Creek a little downstream from the falls. The trail will make a couple switchbacks with views of the waterfall from each of the next two corners.

Kulshan Creek drops over a very pretty 215' tall tiered waterfall right next to the Heliotrope Ridge Trail. The view from the base makes the falls look shorter than it really is but from further back you can get a good sense of the height. It appears as though Kulshan Creek contains at least two more waterfalls, one upstream and one downstream.
