Douglas Falls is an epic waterfall that is very remote yet very easy to reach. It is only a 1/2 mile hike to the falls but the drive to the trail head is several miles on unpaved forest service roads. However, the drive is beautiful and you can see many small waterfalls and cascades that are roadside on the way to the trail. Once you get to the waterfall you will enjoy one of the few waterfalls that allows you to walk behind it (or underneath) as it completely separates from the rock as it plummets 60ft.
