Black Falls from Black Lake

Ribbon Falls is a mesmerizing cascade of whitewater that rushes down a slide of black granite.  Ribbon Falls is part of the drain for Black Lake.  McHenry’s Peak stands a half mile above.

Theresa’s Favorite Spot

Ribbon Falls was Theresa’s favorite spot in the park.  The constant roar of the water, pretty wildflowers, and terrific view makes this the perfect spot for a break from the arduous climb up to Black Lake.

Black Granite

Ribbon Falls rushes through layered slabs of black granite, similar to the inky rocks in the mountains behind Black Lake.
