The falls
The World Waterfall Database confirms the feature at this location but publishes no height, drop count or description of its form.
Getting there
The Obsidian Trailhead reaches the falls area by way of Obsidian Trail 3528, the Pacific Crest Trail, and the Scott Trail. A day-use permit is required from June 15 to October 15, along with a federal recreation pass at the trailhead. Oregon Highway 242, the road serving the trailhead, traditionally opens on the third Monday in June if weather allows, and trails can remain snow-covered into late June.
When to go
Motor access to the trailhead normally begins once Highway 242 opens for the season in June, though early-season snow can linger into late June.
On site
Campfires are prohibited above 5,700 feet, which covers this listing's elevation of about 6,558 feet.
