Surrounded by Kakashe Mountain (8575 feet), Mountaineer Peak (9261 feet), and Lowary Peak (9969 feet) the view from the Mission Creek valley is absolutely breathtaking. The canyon walls rise so quickly and so vast that they give off the illusion of being mountain walls in the Himalayas. The trail going into the unbelievablelly scenic Mission Mountains, starts at the end of the road and gradually climbs about fifty feet to Lower Mission Falls. For what this beauty lacks in vertical drop (20 feet), it makes up in its unique display of dynamic aquatics. Water slides down a ramp then splits around a rock. The left channel hurdles over a bouncy vertical drop while the right channel screams down another ramp to meet the vertical drop a the bottom. All of this combined with the ever-present persistence of moss and cedar make for some excellent photography and a relaxing time.
