Starvation Creek

Starvation Creek Falls is located in the state park of the same name. The falls is just adjacent the rest area off I-84 at exit 55. (N.B. The rest area is accessible via I-84 eastbound only.) The falls is quite popular with passersby, so it's best to keep a low profile, make a good impression, and don't overstay your welcome.

Hike up the Starvation Ridge trail until about 1250ft elevation. Just as you begin climbing the ridge in earnest, break off the trail, and scramble/bushwhack downward some 600ft into the drainage for Starvation Creek. Be prepared for a steep drop with loose soil and a high potential for poison oak. Helmet and gloves are recommended before dropping off the ridge.
