DIRECTIONS - Turn off of Highway 2 onto Money Creek Road about 3 miles west of Skykomish. In 1 mile, turn onto Miller River Road and follow it. The road will go over the West Fork and then the East Fork. At .7 miles beyond the bridge over the East Fork, park. Head down into the woods where you should run into a trail of sorts. Follow it to the top of the falls. It takes a little work getting down to the river below the falls for a clear view.
This is a very cool waterfall occurring where the East Fork of the Miller River splits over a big rock and plunges over a great waterfall. The left segment cascades a bit before plunging about 20' into a narrow crack in the rock. From there it just sort of rolls out into the big pool at the base. The right hand segment spreads out into a beautiful fan-shaped falls at about a 45 degree angle. Surrounding the river at this point are massive vertical cliff walls on both sides. During snowmelt, this cliffs will be covered with some low volume, but very tall, seasonal falls as well. Given the relative ease of reaching this waterfall, it is something I would recommend if you're in this area.
