Others
Access to previously unknown Hunt Creek Falls, USGS Priest Lake SE (1992 ns), is described on the Priest Lake Chamber of Commerce web site. The most recent topographic map now shows LaSota Falls, UGSG Helmer Mtn (1986), upstream from Granite Falls. Update: Another page from the same web site says a loop trail offers a view of Upper Granite Falls, which is either a third waterfall along the stream or in actuality LaSota Falls.
No roads or trails are shown leading to Kalispell Falls, USGS Gleason Mtn (1986), and Chute Creek Falls (u), Gleason Mtn (1986 nl).
