Tip Toe Falls
Tip Toe Falls (also known informally as Tiptoe Falls), is a tall waterfall (though commonly mismeasured from ) on Fall Creek in the Portola Redwoods State Park, California. There is also a upper falls, a few hundred feet upstream, which is much lesser known.
The falls, fed by Fall Creek (a tributary of Pescadero Creek) starts by cascading down a mossy, 8 foot (2.4m) upper tier into a small pool. The creek continues downstream between grassy banks, and before long, falls over the more well known, 6 foot (1.8 m) lower tier. The lower tier empties into a round pool approximately 6” deep, before the creek cascades over sticks and rocks and continues its way downstream.
==Description==
Tip Toe Falls is located in a redwood forest, on a short and steep tributary of Pescadero Creek. Its two tiers tumble over 8 and 6 feet (2.4 and 1.8 m) into shallow pools. The upper tier cascades out of dense undergrowth and forest, down a mossy cliff wall into a small and shallow pool. Near the bottom, the upper falls splits into two around a fallen log. Between the upper falls and the main falls, the creek winds through a small, fern-bounded meadow at the bottom of a steep ravine with mossy rock walls that rise over 50 feet (15m) above the canyon floor. The creek then drops over the main falls, which pours out of a small gully that resembles a hanging valley,〔(Tiptoe Falls - Andey's Waterfall Photos )〕 while a small trickle of water splits off towards the right bank and drops along with the main cascade into a round, rock-bound clear pool. The creek exits the pool in a small congregation of rocks.〔Shaffer, Chris. ''The Definitive Guide to Waterfalls of Central and Southern California.'' Shafdog Publications, 2005.〕
