Description:
This is a novel falls that is highly accessible. You will be driving this Podunk road in July far up into the sapphire mountains when suddenly you round a corner and presto, a tantalizing behemoth of a waterfall stretches out before you. Also to note would be the swarming crowds of people that seem to appear and disappear in and out of no where. Try to reach this place when there may not be as much traffic, like week days in the summer or during the fall and late spring. The falls is quite impressive with its height and cascading style. Be sure to check out Gem Mountain where one can find sapphires with often quite successful results. The name “skalkaho” is believed to come from an Indian word meaning many roads. A story written by the founder of Grantsdale, H.H. Grant on March 14, 1894 in the local paper, the Western News, alluded to the name and subsequent naming of nearby Skalkaho Creek.
