Third Falls
Third Falls
Inyo County, California
Description
This, of course, is the third waterfall seen along the North Fork Big Pine Creek Trail and the first completely within the John Muir Wilderness. However, many hikers and backpackers pass by without checking it out. Unlike First and Second Falls, Third Falls is not clearly seen from the trail. However, it can certainly be heard and it is not difficult to check it out. I haven't been able to find any reference to it online or on any topo maps.
