Hunt Creek Falls are in a
secluded ravine and surrounded by large moss-covered granite boulders.
The Falls are just a short hike from the parking area. It is a magical
setting that attacks those who truly appreciate the natural wonders
of water, rock and flora. However, this was a very difficult waterfall
for the two RV Gypsies to find. The directions the two RV Gypsies found
included words like "just prior to milepost 4", "unmarked
intersection" and "open area in the forest"
- not the best directions ever written. But the two RV Gypsies persisted
and it paid off - they got there! Later, they found the directions as
shown below - help that helps other people find the falls.
Hunt Creek Falls is a hidden gem along Priest Lake's E. Shore Drive
north of Coolin, Idaho. At about 3.4 miles north of Cavanaugh Bay Airport,
look for an up hill road on your right (E). As you drive up this short
dirt road, notice a sign in the trees announcing that this area is managed
by the Idaho Dept. of Lands. At the junction, bear left and drive as
far as you can, and park. Walk the same road to the falls in about.1
miles.

A look through the trees along the trail.
It was a short, rocky trail. |

Lee Duquette ducked under
part of a tree that stuck out over the trail. Karen Duquette played
with another tree hanging over the trail. With just a slight touch,
the tree would just bounce up and down. |

Below: Another look through
the woods and the two RV Gypsies realized that they have already seen
Hunt Creek Falls from the best viewing point and there was no reason
to go further on the trail. Then they met a family with two young children
coming down from higher up on the trail and they confirmed that the
view would not get any better further up the trail. So the two RV Gypsies
turned around, took another look at Hunt Creek Falls from the original
viewing spot, and then walked back to their truck and headed out to
another adventure. |
