 Hilt Creek Falls, photo by Nels Rasmussen, DC Hilt Creek Falls is a very beautiful waterfall with two significant drops where the creek flows down from a narrow channel cut into steep rock formations. The upper falls drops down about 60 feet fanning outward during times of high volume and during lower volume intricate stream-lets lace down the rocks and maidenhair ferns.
