Relevant text on marker:
Fall Creek Falls, at 256 feet, is the highest waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains. The waters of Fall Creek have cut through the rock to expose geologic formations (millions?) of years old. These rocks are the remnants of sandy dunes, tidal plains, salt marshes, or swamps, giving each layer a different texture and color.
