This is the most famous
of all the waterfalls along the Boulder River Trail. Sometimes this waterfall is referred to as "Boulder Falls", but the official name is "Feature Show
Falls". This waterfall splits making two single drops of 130
feet into the Boulder River, there is a bench near by for those who
want to sit and just enjoy nature's beauty.

Feature Show
Falls is located a little over 1 mile down the trail across the
river. Just a little before you reach Feature Falls you will
come to Pre-Show
Falls, lacing down the rock
face and maidenhair ferns. 1.5 miles past Feature Show Falls you will come to Meditation Falls.

This waterfall is a nice one to follow season to season. In the summer this waterfall is framed by thick lush moss and lacy Maidenhair Ferns. Winter transforms
Feature Show Falls and Pre-Show Falls into a wall of Icicles, a very
beautiful sight to see on a sunny winter day. The trail can be
quite slippery however with ice on the trial as well.
