White Creek Falls is a waterfall on White Creek in Teton County, Wyoming, in the Middle Rockies region, with a total height of about 6 feet. It lies about 17.8 miles southeast of West Yellowstone and roughly 96 miles northeast of Idaho Falls as the crow flies.
At 6 feet it is one of the lowest falls in the state’s records: of the 230 Wyoming waterfalls with a documented height only 2 are shorter, while the typical Wyoming waterfall stands around 60 feet. The water comes down as a plunge, where the water drops vertically and loses contact with the rock face.
The Middle Rockies are high, glaciated mountain ranges with alpine peaks, subalpine fir and spruce forest, lodgepole pine and grassy intermontane valleys. Snowmelt streams cascade down glacial valleys and canyon walls.
