Our third stop on the way back west from Avalanche was at the McDonald Falls Overlook located 10.6 miles from the four-way stop at Apgar to view the waterfall on McDonald Creek. All views on this side of the creek are somewhat obstructed by the forest and are at the road elevation and not creekside. We visited the park in May 2021.
