Boasting a drop of 226 feet off a glacier-cut cliff, Proxy Falls is one of the tallest plunge waterfalls in the state, and it's also one of the most easily accessible. The start of the 1.6-mile trail to the falls can be found right off Highway 242, and depending on which direction you take it, you'll end up at either the Upper or Lower Falls before continuing on to the other. The trail is open year-round, but the best time to go is between March and November when there's less of a chance of snow.
