Detailed Information:

This is Alaska's answer to Sutherland Falls. The falls leap over the headwall of the valley immediately upon exiting the lake. The 2nd link, (Community Webshots) will not typically open in a pop-up window. You may wish to cut (ctrl x) and paste (ctrl y) the url after visiting another page. The window will then open properly.
