DIRECTIONS - Drive east of Granite Falls along the Mountain Loop Highway for about 25 miles. Exit at the Big Four Picnic area where the falls can be seen to the south. A trail leads about a mile to the Ice Caves and closer views of the falls.

Big Four Mountain has several tall, lacy waterfalls that drop off its northern face. The largest (and further east) of these falls is called Rucker Falls. Big Four Falls is the combination of the rest of the falls. The falls are quite seasonal but when they're flowing well they can be quite a sight.
