Overview
Twister Falls (also Crossover Falls, Bowtie Falls) is a 140-foot series of cascades on Eagle Creek where the creek cascades into a narrow canyon, crossing over itself. It is about 6 miles up the Eagle Creek Trail (Exit 41), past Metlako and Punch Bowl falls. Check trail conditions, since it is beyond the burned area.
