This stunning waterfall in the Selkirk Mountains is a two-for-one hike with both upper and lower falls. Admittedly, the upper falls are more spectacular, but an easy 1.7-mile trail, out and back, means there’s no reason not to make time for both falls.
The hike will take you through an old-growth forest with towering western red cedar and ponderosa pine. A short walk on the trail will lead you to a fork where you can visit the lower or upper falls. Both have viewing platforms with the upper falls offering a rocky ledge and felled trees for picture-perfect views.

While some might argue it’s a cascade rather than a waterfall, the serene surroundings make Grouse Creek Falls a wonderful addition to a northern Idaho waterfall tour. A roughly half-mile hike along a rocky trail will take you to a series of sea-green cascades. You’ll have to wade through the water around a large boulder to see the waterfalls, so water shoes are a good idea for this hike.
While the trail is short, it can get steep, and there are sections where you’ll have to walk through medium-sized rocks. Before the falls, the trail forks, and you can go uphill or towards the creek. The uphill route is steep, leading to a lookout point over the falls. The trail to the right stays along the water and is better suited for young kids.
Directions: Head east on Highway 200 from Sandpoint. Turn left on Colburn Culver Road. Drive 5.5 miles and turn right onto Grouse Creek Cut Off Road. After 1.5 miles, turn right onto Grouse Creek Road. Continue 4 miles till you see an unmarked road that veers to the right. Turn right onto the unmarked road, which leads right to the parking lot.

Tucked into the top of northern Idaho, about two miles from the border of Canada, is Copper Falls, the tallest waterfall of the bunch. The thin silvery falls drop from a staggering 225 feet and is a sight to behold. An easy 1.4-mile loop trail takes you through a lovely wooded forest to a lower view of the falls and an upper view from an observation deck. The waterfalls are powerful, so be prepared for a cooling waterfall mist the closer you get.
While Copper Falls is at its most powerful in the spring, it’s also a popular spot for daring ice climbers who scale the frozen falls. For a true Idaho adventure, suit up for winter weather and hike the snowy trail to see a frozen waterfall and maybe even a few ice climbers.
You can tack Copper Falls onto your Snow Creek and Myrtle Falls itinerary if you want a full day of waterfall hikes.
Directions: Head north on Highway 95 from Bonners Ferry. After crossing the Moyie River, immediately turn right at Copper Falls Road onto road #2517. Follow the gravel road about 2.5 miles to the parking lot and trailhead.
