Feather Falls, Waterfall in Plumas National Forest, California, US
The 410-foot Feather Falls cascades down in a vertical column through the Sierra Nevada mountains, creating a powerful display of falling water.
The United States Forest Service established trails and viewing platforms in the area to provide controlled access to this natural formation.
The surrounding land holds significance for the Maidu Native American community, who maintained a connection to this territory for generations.
Two distinct hiking paths lead to the waterfall observation point: a steep 3.3-mile trail and a more gradual 4.5-mile route.
Frey Creek, near the waterfall, serves as a winter gathering location for millions of migrating ladybugs from November through March.
