| DIRECTIONS - Follow
the directions to Nooksack Falls. Continue on Wells
Creek Road for 3.1 miles and pull off at a turnout on the right. Head into the woods
towards Wells Creek. The going is fairly easy through the woods. You should
come out somewhere near the falls in around 1/5 of a mile. If not, head downstream a
little further. Getting to the top of the falls is very easy, but getting clear
views of the lower sections seems to be very tough, if not impossible. NEARBY WATERFALLS - Excelsior Falls, Lower Mazama Falls, Lower Wells Creek Falls, Mazama Falls, Middle Wells Creek Falls, Nooksack Falls, Sholes Creek Falls, Wells Creek Falls |
