Mill Creek Falls is a waterfall on Mill Creek in Eldorado National Forest, El Dorado County, California, listed at about 190 feet; the entry is marked unconfirmed.
The falls
Mill Creek carries 10 recorded waterfalls along its course, and this one runs through Eldorado National Forest at an elevation of about 4,139 feet. No description of its form, flow or the rock it drops over has been found, and no tallest-drop or drop-count figure has been published alongside the 190-foot total. The fall lies in the Sierra Nevada, a long granite range of glacially carved canyons and alpine meadows forested with ponderosa and Jeffrey pine, incense cedar and giant sequoia; snowmelt-fed rivers in this range pour over polished granite steps and cliffs, mostly in spring and early summer.
