One of the most scenic waterfalls in California. The falls are fed by springs, which course down the canyon wall, and into the Sacramento River, creating the effect of many waterfall streams falling into the river. The falls are located just south of the lower portion of Shasta Springs. Access to the falls is a mile-long hiking trail on the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.

Located at the end of an easy 5-minute walk down a beautiful mossy, wooded trail. The quiet beauty of the falls grows until it completely overtakes the viewer.
