Eagle Falls has two set of falls. The more popular by far are the lower falls. The upper falls are kinda narrow with a couple drops and big pools and aren't quite as easy to access. The Lower falls are right there with many trails to walk to with a huge granite gorge to go swimming in. There's a rope swing in the gorge and a large pool after it. There can be disturbing amounts of grabage around since it is right off the highway. Please back out what you bring in and possibly any extra garbage you may be willing to pack out.

On private land. Canyon Falls sits between private land and unaccessable unless you are a Resident on MIR. Canyon Falls drops into a granite gorge just about a thousand feet up river from Sunset Falls. Since 2005 Canyon falls has taken the lives of two people floating the South Fork unaware of their presence.

On private land. Sunset Falls is a spectacular sight at all times of year. When the river is low and the granite is dry you can walk out near the falls. When the river is high it has completely ripped up the road that runs along the falls, along with pull up and remove the power poles. Adjacent to the falls is a fish ladder.

The trail is a constant climb up the side of Heybrook Ridge. It's a short trail but even so if you aren't in shape you will be taking a few breathers. Once you reach the top of the ridge it's a gradual walk on the ridge till you get below the lookout tower. Once you see the tower you get a burst of energy and you'll need it to get to the top of the lookout. The view platform is always open and sometimes in the summer maned by a ranger to answer questions.

Barclay Lake is an easy hike with an amazing view of the backside of Mt.Baring's dramatic cliffs. It's an easy hike for everyone. The trail follows the creek to the lake so keep and eye on young ones. There are fun boulders to climb on at the mouth of the Lake.
