An upper view is available by taking a right turn at the kiosk. Walk along Roosevelt Trail #301 for a couple hundred feet, then turn left upon signed Overlook Trail and switchback a bit for 0.2 miles to a wooden platform extending beyond the cliff for a great vantage of the descent, along known as Lower Falls. Look for the copper dedication sign next to the vista.

The most recent topographic map shows no roads or trails for Kalispell Falls, USGS Gleason Mtn (1996), or Chute Creek Falls (u), Gleason Mtn (1996 nl).

Updates: While hiking to Slippery Rocks and Kent Creek Falls (listed above), a moderately distant sighting of Lion Creek Falls (u), USGS Smith Peak (1996 ns), was made through the trees. As daylight was waning, time ran out to further investigate. Online narratives report the descent is accessible by continuing upstream along the trail on the north side of the creek. Additionally, it is very likely several more cataracts occur offtrail both upstream and downstream.

LaSota Falls, USGS Helmer Mtn (1996), is located upstream from Upper Granite Falls near Roosevelt Grove of Ancient Cedars, but no access could be found when visited in July, 2011.
