When locating Donut Falls, I found Moss Ledge Waterfall up the same canyon. It wasn't a long hike so we decided to go for it. It is a bit of a scramble with 347' elevation gain in .2 miles.

Just at the top to the left is a rock that Kurt made me climb by myself. He refused to help me saying, "You can do it!"
Moss Ledge Falls

Notice the moss--in middle of the waterfall along each side.
Kurt had to crawl across the wet boulder to get closer to the falls.
I didn't crawl across the boulder.
