The falls begin with a small sliding cascade that drops {{convert|5|ft|m}} over a rocky slope into a pool, followed by some rapids. The next tier is the twisting tier, which plunges {{convert|50|ft|m}}. Before this point, a small portion of the stream splits off and makes a sheer plunge of approximately equal height down the canyon. Then, the waters combine and form a final drop of {{convert|80|ft|m}}.[2] NameThe waterfall has not been named by the USGS, but has been called Twister Falls for its unusual nature. See also
