1   Waterfall Overlook

Walk up the steps to get a better view of the waterfall. The granite rocks were brought in from the mountains north of Boise and are representative of the granite-based geology of central Idaho. The setting is alpine (high elevation), with a pine snag standing above, and aspens and evergreens growing below. The waterfall and alpine lake are the headwaters of the Nature Center stream, much like the Stanley Basin lakes are the headwaters of the Salmon River.
