Middle Andesite Falls is a pretty set of waterfalls located just upstream from the awesome Andesite Falls. The waterfall consists of a 38' tall upper tier and a 15' tall lower tier. Unlike most of the Sandy Creek Basin, this creek, particularly around this waterfall, is fairly green and lush. There are a lot of flowers and vegetation around the falls that contrast beautifully with the rugged volcanic rocks in the area.
