Detailed Info

Mackintosh Falls is a large, powerful, deliciously complex waterfall located where Elliot Creek drops over the headwall immediately below the outlet of Goat Lake within the Henry M Jackson Wilderness Area. Elliot Creek flows no more than 100 feet from the logjam at the lake's outlet before it drops over the first part of the falls, a wide, very scenic 15 foot veiling fall. The creek gathers itself quickly then hurtles over the biggest part of the falls, a twisting cascade of 182 feet that starts vertical and becomes less steep, then reverts to a near vertical drop at its base. A little more than halfway down this cascade, the creek splits around a craggy rock, one side fluming into a narrow gorge in two vertical steps, while the other side skips down then spreads into a wide veil, which unfortunately can't be seen clearly (trees blocking) or easily approached unless the creek is running low. The next step is a side-by-side drop of 30 feet, followed by a plunge of 19 feet and the final drop is a sliding cascade of another 20 feet. The creek does keep dropping at a fairly steep pitch below here, but it becomes harder to access and doesn't look like it contacts the bedrock any longer below the 20 foot slide, so I'm calling that the bottom of the falls. Elliot Creek is a fairly large stream and the falls will retain a substantial flow for the majority of the year thanks to several small glaciers feeding into Goat Lake, though late in the season it will be substantially less impressive a waterfall.

History and Naming

Mackintosh Falls is the Historical name of this waterfall.

Has also been known as:

• McIntosh Falls
• Elliot Creek Falls

William M. Mackintosh, with his brother Charles M. Mackintosh, ran the Penn Mining Company operation at the Foggy Mine at Goat Lake. In 1891, William Mackintosh and James Bedal are credited with exploring the Elliott Creek drainage, and are thought to have discovered Goat Lake as well as the falls. Between 1927 and 1936 the Mackintosh family, whom the falls were named for, operated a rustic lodge near the top of the falls. Portions of the original road up the creek can be found around the falls, particularly along a stretch of trail at the top of the falls and another near the base.

Location & Directions

Coordinates: 48.02225, -121.35722
Elevation: 3160 feet
USGS Map: Sloan Peak 7 1/2'

Mackintosh Falls is found at the outlet of Goat Lake within the Henry Jackson Wilderness. To find the trailhead, follow the Mountain Loop Highway north from Barlow Pass for 3 1/2 miles to FSR #4080, signed for the Goat Lake trail. Follow the road to its end in 3/4 mile. The trail starts along the old roadbed and splits into two trails shortly, converging several miles later (the lower trail is shorter by about a mile). The trail approaches the base of the falls at about 3.8 miles and reaches the top of the falls at 4 1/4 miles. There are numerous user paths leading to several viewpoints of different parts of the falls and scrambling up and down the whole length of cascades is fairly easy in all.

Other Nearby Waterfalls

The information presented in this table is meant to help identify and clarify the physical aspects of the waterfall for comparative purposes. While we try to ensure this information is as accurate as possible, sometimes it will prove necessary to either estimate or flat out guess at certain characteristics where either enough information isn't readily available, is not known, or we were not able to confirm a given trait upon surveying. This information may be changed at any given time to ensure accuracy.

Total Height

The Total Height listed for the waterfall represents the difference in elevation from the top of the uppermost drop, to the bottom of the lowermost drop of the waterfall, including all stretches of interstitial stream in between. Stream between two tiers of a waterfall is counted in its overall height regardless of whether or not that section of the stream would be legitimately considered a waterfall on its own right, were it to be isolated. Waterfalls with only one drop will of have the height of only the single drop listed here.

Tallest Drop

Grandad Ota 2 - Choushi Falls Mac Os X

The Tallest Drop figure represents the height of the largest single drop within a multi-stepped waterfall. Waterfalls with only one drop will have the total height of the waterfall repeated here.

Num of Drops

The Number of Drops in a waterfall is a tally of the total number of distinct drops which make up the waterfall. Stretches of interstitial stream in between two or more distinct drops of a single waterfall are NOT considered to be distinct drops of the waterfall unless the section of stream in question would otherwise qualify as a waterfall were it to be isolated.

Avg Width

The Average Width of the waterfall represents the breadth of the waterfall from bank to bank under typical flow conditions, or if the waterfall has been Cataloged, under the conditions which it was most thoroughly surveyed. Often this number will be approximated because of a lack of approachability to many waterfalls. We often utilize Google Earth to measure the width (where imagery is of sufficient quality and resolution to allow it.

Maximum Width

Maximum Width represents a hypothetical measurement of roughly how wide a waterfall could get during peak streamflow or flood conditions. For smaller waterfalls, this figure will generally not differ much from the Average Width measurement, but for broader waterfalls - especially those that feature a crest that isn't constricted - this figure can at times be consideraby larger. Like the Average Width measurement, this measurement will take into account the difference in width at the top and bottom of the waterfall as much as possible, but will often be made based on the width of the crest of th falls alone.

Pitch

The Pitch of a waterfall is an estimated - often very roughly - measure of the average slope or steepness of a waterfall. The Pitch figure only takes into account sections of stream which are actively falling. Pools or stretches of level stream in between two or more successive drops of the falls will not factor in this figure. As an example, a waterfall which features two truly free-falling leaps separated by several dozen yards of flat stream will have a Pitch of 90 degrees. Similarly, a waterfall with two drops separated by a pool, one with a true free-falling drop, and one with a Horsetail type fall will average the two, so while the Plunging drop has a Pitch of 90 degrees, if the Horsetail drop has a Pitch of 45 degrees, the total Pitch will be roughly 67 degrees.

Run

The Run of a waterfall is a measurement representing the total linear distance on the ground between the top and bottom of a waterfall. This figure is not often easy to establish with a high degree of precision and as such will often be estimated. Waterfalls with a longer Run will usually either be less steep, often cascading type waterfalls, or will feature multiple steps separated by shorter stretches of a more gradual gradient streambed.

Form

The system of classification of waterfall forms we use is a heavily modified derivative of the classifications outlined by Greg Plumb in his 'Waterfall Lover's Guide to the Pacific Northwest' books. While plumb uses eight distnct forms, we wanted further granularity and opted to break down the hierarchy twofold: first based on the overall pitch of the waterfall, and then based on what shape the fall takes as it makes its descent. There are five primary Categories of falls in this system: Plunge, Horsetail, Steep Cascades, Shallow Cascades, and Rapids. Additional deliniation is then applied depending on characteristics such as the breadth of the falls, whether it splits into two or more channels, whether it falls in multiple successive drops, etc. For more information on our waterfall form classifications, see the Help page.

Watershed

The watershed which a waterfall occurs within, if it is specified, will be based on the ultimate distributary watercourse to the ocean. For example, Washington's Palouse Falls occurs along the Palouse River - which is a tributary to the Snake River, which is itself a tributary to the Columbia River, which ultimately enters the Pacific Ocean, so Palouse Falls would then fall within the Columbia River watershed. Streams which empty directly into the ocean, or into a minor basin which then empties to the ocean will often have this field left blank.

Stream

The name of the watercourse which the waterfall occurs along. If the watercourse is not known to have an officially or colloquially recognized name, this field is left blank.

Avg Volume

The volume of water present in the stream at the location of the waterfall. This is often the most difficult figure to pin down because accurately measuring streamflow is not a simple process. We will rely on USGS data as much as possible, and attempt to take into account seasonal fluctuations in stream levels if possible. There is no guarantee that this figure will be accurate, and in cases where there is no USGS data to use, it may be a very, very rough estimate at best.

Source

If known, the primary source of the watercourse which produces the waterfall will be listed here. This is helpful in determining whether a waterfall may flow more consistently during certain periods of the year - streams which originate in Springs, Lakes, or Glaciers will often flow more consistently throughout the year than those fueled by simply Runoff. The source of the stream may also be either unknown or undetermined.

Flow Consistency

A rough estimation of how many months out of the year the stream which produces the waterfall will actually hold water. The vast majority of waterfalls featured on this website will technically be truly perennial waterfalls (those that flow all year long), but some may see their flow dwindle greatly in the late summer months. This figure will not take into account the winter months when the waterfall may freeze, because in such cases the waterfall will very often be inaccessible. Entries which specify a Flow Consistncy of 12 Months should in general have an acceptable flow at any time of year (but may be better during certain periods - see below).

Best Flow

Grandad Ota 2 - Choushi Falls Mac Os 8

A general estimate of the best period of the year during which time the falls will be considered at optimal conditions, or flowing at their best. There may be variance within the range specified where the flow will be better or worse, but visiting at any time in the range specified (if available) will generally present the waterfall in its best light.
