Little River drops some 60 feet at Yakso Falls. The falls is categorized as a "fan" which is similar to a "plunge" except falling water maintains some contact with the bedrock surface and falls in an increasing width. I was surprised by the sudden sight of Yakso Falls. The trail follows the contours of the hillside which shielded the Yakso Falls from sight. This is not a trail for anyone with a serious physical challenge or the very young who may not have the stamina or balance. However, if I ever write a book on favorite trails, Yakso Falls trail will, for sure, be in it.
