Often, you can walk along the edge of the basin all the way to the underside of the waterfall for an especailly unique vantage point.

Continuing along the trail, you'll soon reach another fork that'll lead you to a cliff overlooking the second waterfall: Butte Creek Falls. This lovely waterfall is 85' tall, and it sure is a sight to behold.
