143 Native American Falls
We had quite a bit of rain the last couple days so I’m thinking it should be a good day to see some waterfalls. I have a couple in mind that I’ve been meaning to go check out and end up in Sand Gap deciding on Native American Falls. The parking area is on the west side of Highway 7 south of Highway 123, the ‘Piney Creek WMA’ sign that once stood at this spot is gone. first falls encountered along Indian Creek Out the back heading west is a very visible trail, well-worn, obvious and easy to follow. All the colorful ribbon and flagging hanging everywhere is completely unnecessary. The trail starts downhill right away, first gently but seems to get steeper the farther I go and soon I can hear running water. Now the trail is following a little side stream as it continues down to Indian Creek. Tumbling Cascade This is way up near the top of the Indian Creek drainage, I’m surprised at the amount of flow in the creek which up here is about ten feet wide on average.
