Alkali Creek Falls Trailhead
The trail is a short climb to the lower end of Alkali Falls. Here, Alkali Creek drops 600 vertical feet in a rocky chute. The falls are most spectacular in the late spring, when snow melt is the greatest in the high meadows. The water flow decreases in late summer, and may be dry in drought years.
