See Dorothy Falls, Alaska

Add to My List Check Off

Dorothy Creek flows out of mountains to your left and runs past the red cabin on the far bank of the Nome River. Remains of the old U.S. Road House may also be found in the area. You can hike to a scenic waterfall about one mile up the creek. While there is no trail, you can hike in open tundra above the creek on the south side, then clamber down a steep incline to the creek just above or below the waterfall. American dippers may be seen flying through the waterfall to land on the rock face beyond where it has built a dome-shaped nest of moss. Silver salmon use the man-made series of ponds on the east side of the main road as rearing habitat for juveniles. The pools were constructed during road renovations in 2004.
