Although only 15 ft. high, Virgin Creek Falls is a thing of beauty. I really loved this pretty little falls found in the skiing community of Girdwood, along a very scenic and pristine (virgin like) Virgin Creek.

It is a very short hike at the end of Timberline Drive up to the falls. It is quite easy to get down to the creek as well, and is definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.
