Easy to moderate 7 mi out and back or short walk to falls only 1,496 ft elevation gain Hiked 6/1/25
Located in the Thompson Falls recreation area not too far from Golden BC this is a great waterfall with an ok trail that could be shortened to maybe half a mile or so of a mild slope. Falls were way overfull at time of hike, but appear to be a worthwhile stop, perhaps while camping in the area.
Another view of Thompson falls from a little further away, which better shows the shelf under the rushing river.
The uppermost section of falls along the trail, looks like it would have been a small cascade on the far side with a rapid on the near. Currently very blown out, the downed trees on the farside are stuck.
A jumble of fallen trees suspended in the forest. (Marge voice: I just think they're neat!)

Interesting color grading.
