The Panther Creek Falls are amazing. They are located just off the side of the road, so a very short walk is all that is required to reach them. After finding the parking area, you will cross the road and backtrack a couple hundred feet until you find a trail leading to the overlook area. There is nice boardwalk located above the falls giving you a good view of them from above. If you want to see the falls from below, a very steep, muddy decent is required.
Bring detailed directions if you visit, as they were not easy for me to find. They are located in a thick forest north of the Columbia River Gorge in Washington, and when I visited there was no signage of any kind along the road letting you know where they were. It looks like it may be becoming more popular as I saw the parking area and trailhead have been marked on Google Maps now. I visited Panther Creek Falls early on a February morning, and did not see anyone else while I was there. The Gorge is a much more peaceful place in the winter.
