Running Eagle Falls
As the trail to Running Eagle Falls comes to an end, hikers would be met by a creek. The creek would eventually lead you to the Running Eagle Falls. It is not difficult to miss since the sound of the crashing water would be a giveaway. Looking at the falls, it really didn’t look that impressive. It wasn’t that high but there is a large volume of water coming through here. What I noticed was that the water actually comes through a rock which obscures the top of the falls. This makes it look like it is gushing out of a rock.
Closer Look at the Water of Running Eagle Falls
There is actually an amazing feature here. Apparently, it was the end of summer and the falls isn’t as full as it can be. When the water is really turned on, the water would overflow from the top and start gushing down forming a taller waterfall. This waterfall would then obscure the smaller one giving it the name Trick falls. I never got to see this trick since it would need to wait another season to see the larger waterfalls form. Still you can see where it is supposed to come down from. Right now, it is dry and I can only see the smaller but still impressive waterfall. To the right of the creek there is a viewing area where you can have a slightly better look at the waterfall. Because of the way the rocks formed, this falls seems to be constantly in the shade, except probably for noon time where the sun is overhead.
