The falls begin with a small sliding cascade that drops 5 feet (1.5 m) over a rocky slope into a pool, followed by some rapids.

Before this point, a small portion of the stream splits off and makes a sheer plunge of approximately equal height down the canyon.

Then, the waters combine and form a final drop of 80 feet (24 m).

[2] The waterfall has not been named by the USGS, but has been called Twister Falls for its unusual nature.
