USGS Map: Granite Falls (1989)










Explorer Falls
Rating: *
Form: horsetail
Magnitude: 29 (l)
Access: bushwhack (page 47)
USGS Map: Lake Chaplain (1989 ns)
Update: Reportedly, Monroe Camp Road is now paved, but ends for vehicles one mile before the destination. If this is the case, one will have to walk the last mile to the drainage harboring the falls.







Others
Lower, Middle, and Upper Canyon Creek Falls (u), all USGS Granite Falls (1989 nl), all occur nearby.  They are likely accessible if not on restricted private property.

A private gated access road prevents visitation to Kelly Creek Falls (u), USGS Verlot (1989 ns).  The same holds true for Marsh Creek Falls (u), USGS Lake Chaplain (1989 nl), whose topographic map implies may be quite scenic.
