The lower section of Swamp Creek is chockful of small, cascading waterfalls. While the waterfalls aren't all that great, the canyon is pretty astounding. Huge vertical walls rising hundreds of feet above the creek are the norm.

This is the lowest waterfall on the creek, tumbling 71' into a pool at the base. It's tough to get a clear view of the waterfall and it's not that exciting anyway.
