Fall Creek Falls is a must-see for all waterfall enthusiasts here in Idaho. With an elevation of 5,280 feet and a 60-foot descent into the Snake River, Fall Creek Falls widen as it drops and a natural fountain forms on each side of the middle cataract. It is a spectacular view to behold and a wonderful adventure for a day.
