Nature
Van Trump Falls is a multi-stage waterfall on Van Trump Creek in Pierce County, Washington, just below the mouth of Falls Creek. Its upper section begins with a 40-foot plunge that widens into an 80-foot fan before dropping into a short, deep canyon. Beyond the canyon, the creek descends another 50 feet in two horsetail falls. Floods in 2001 significantly altered the lower tiers, while floods in 2003 and 2006 caused little additional change. The falls are notable not only for their tiered structure but also for the difficulty and danger of viewing them closely, whether from the canyon rim or at the base.
