Depending the time of year you may also get to spot wildlife such as deer, elk and even bears! Once at the base of the falls you will find several large boulders scattered around which make great spots to sit and take in all its beauty.
Boulder Falls also serves as an important part in maintaining healthy ecosystems in the area by maintaining healthy streams for fish species like cutthroat trout and providing much needed water supply for local wildlife populations including elk, deer and black bears.
