Parts of the falls had frozen to form a partially running, partially frozen waterfall.
A beautiful crisp winter day on a great trail!
The boulder river hike was fantastic. French Creek Road doesn't stand out so be aware. But once found the three mile dirt road drive to the trailhead was easy and in great shape.
We hiked to the first camp ground had time for lunch then returned to the lot. Stopping along the way to sit by the river, enjoy the snowfall and take photos. It did snow while out there which added to the beauty of this wonderful trail.
BE AWARE:
The trail at places is covered in ice. Not necessarily a problem but a slip here could also include a 20-30 foot drop towards the river. Don't do this! Be careful on this trail.

The extremely fascinating ice formation. Water was running down the blowdown and froze along the way, creating an ice wall. Someone came before us to cut the door way. Felt very much like walking through a door to a new world.
