Undine Falls

Tucked along the scenic Mammoth-Tower road, Undine Falls cascades gracefully in three distinct tiers over ancient volcanic cliffs. This 60-foot waterfall, named after mythical water spirits, offers a perfect roadside stop for photographers and nature enthusiasts. The falls’ multiple steps create an enchanting display as Lava Creek tumbles through a rugged basalt canyon, especially dramatic during spring snowmelt. A convenient pullout provides excellent viewing of this hidden gem.
