This is the largest falls of the Belknap Range in terms of its total drop - it falls nearly vertically for only about 20 ft, but then continues for about another 80 ft over a very large talus slope of jumbled chunks of rock that have broken off the cliff over which the falls flows for the last 14000 years or so, forming a massive pile of debris. The falls is on a remote section of the western slope of Straightback Mt - it can be reached by a trail called the Precipice Path, because it walks along the edge of the same cliff the falls tumbles over; that cliff starts at the falls and continues to the left of this photo for about 1/4 of a mile, making it the longest cliff face of the range.
