A little further down the trail, a better view of Deer Creek Falls.
0.4 miles from the trailhead, Owyhigh Lakes Trail crosses the Eastside Trail. To see the other two waterfalls, we would take the Eastside Trail to the left/south. But first, we decided to walk a short ways further on the Owyhigh Lakes Trail to a bridge over Dewey Creek. Here looking upstream:

We then returned to go south on the Eastside Trail to the next 2 waterfalls. There are lots of huckleberry bushes along the trail.

a short ways down the trail, we found a boot path to some boulders on Chinook Creek to see the cascade coming down from the bridge.
1.5 miles down the trail a bridge goes over the Ohanapecosh River and Ohanapecosh Falls. Looking upstream from the bridge over Ohanapecosh River and Falls

About 200 ft down the trail there is a boot track leading to an overlook of the 50 ft Ohanapecosh Falls
