Approximately 50 miles from the air station towers Mt. Jakuchi, which boasts an elevation of 4,386 feet. This mountain, also known as Seven Falls, contains several camping grounds and three main hiking paths. Station residents and locals visited Seven Falls April 27-28, 2013, to enjoy the expansive outdoors.

Path B follows the river, guiding hikers to five of the seven falls. Once path B ends,the terrain forks to either go right for path C or left for path A.

While the trail is known as Seven Falls, there are hundreds of smaller waterfalls populating the pathways throughout the trails.
