GREIDER LAKE FALLS

RATING - 1/10

TYPE OF APPROACH - Trail + Bushwhack

DIFFICULTY - Difficult

LOCATION - Spada Lake Area

TYPE - Cascades

HEIGHT - 10'

WIDTH - 10'

The Topo maps show a waterfall between Upper and Lower Greider Lakes.  The lakes are only 16' difference in elevation so the tallest this falls could be is 16'.  I found this series of cascades at the outlet to Upper Greider Lake.  I don't know if this is supposed to be the falls or not.  If it isn't, the "falls" only have about 6 more feet to drop before they reach the Lower Lake.  Go figure.  The hike into the lakes is worth it though.  The two lakes are absolutely beautiful so don't let this "falls" discourage you.   There is another falls below the Lower Lake that appears to be much more impressive but I haven't had a chance to bag it yet.

DIRECTIONS - Drive East of Everett on Highway 2.  In the town of Sultan, turn left onto Sultan Basin Road.  Sign in at Olney Pass and take the right hand road to the Greider Lakes Trailhead.  The "falls" are at the outlet from Upper Greider Lake.
