Whitnach Falls is a waterfall on Center Creek in Eagle County, Colorado, in the Southern Rockies region, with a total height of about 20 feet. It lies about 1.2 miles northeast of Basalt and roughly 85.1 miles east of Grand Junction as the crow flies.
At 20 feet it is on the modest side for Colorado, where the typical waterfall with a recorded height stands around 65 feet; it ranks 140th of 162. The water comes down as a cascade, descending over a series of rock steps rather than in a single drop.
The Southern Rockies are high, rugged mountains with alpine peaks, spruce-fir and lodgepole forest, aspen groves and glacial valleys. Snowmelt drives strong spring flows over granite and volcanic cliffs.
