Picnic Table

Upstream from this picnic area three streams merge into Annie Creek increasing the water volume as it spills over boulders creating the falls. The sound of cascading water bellows up through the canyon and is filtered by the forest that abscures views of Annie Falls. The sound is unavoidable but a view is elusive. Stand still and follow the sound through the trees to catch a glimpse of white water spilling over boulders.

There are two picnic tables. One is under the trees near the area where the falls are likely to be seen and heard. The second is under the lodgepole pines on the right passed the guardrails wwhere the sound of Annie Falls is a little gentler.
