Falls Creek Falls
Falls Creek tumbles in a series of cascades along the steep Falls Creek Trail in Chugach State Park, beginning at a turnout near mile 105.6 of the Seward Highway. The rough, steep route climbs above tree line toward wildflower meadows and Dall sheep country.
Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Chugach State Park (Alaska State Parks) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.
