Drake Falls is one of the smaller falls along the Trail of Ten Fails, but fun to see, nevertheless. http://ift.tt/1RHtNEX

On a short spur off the Trail of Ten Fails, we came upon Double Falls. It's a little hard to see the upper falls in the picture. It's that smaller part just to the right and above the lower falls.
