From Wikipedia:
The valley of the West Fork Foss River contains a fair amount of waterfalls. The river heads in a series of large lakes: Big Heart Lake, Angeline Lake, and Otter Lake- which form spectacular waterfalls as they plunge down to Delta Lake. On the valley walls downstream of Delta Lake, are found even more waterfalls. Excerpt from the Wikipedia article on Waterfalls of the West Fork Foss River Valley, available under CC BY-SA 4.0.
