St. Maries works as a jumping off point for the timber country falls of the Idaho Panhandle. Shadow Falls is the short one, a half mile walk on an easy grade, and Fern Falls sits close enough to pair with it on the same drive, 2.5 miles with 400 feet of gain. Elk Creek Falls runs 3.5 miles and climbs 500 feet. Bull Run Creek Falls comes in at 2 miles. Dogs are welcome on all four, which around here surprises nobody.
