LOWER SUIATTLE FALLS |

| RATING - 2/10 TYPE OF APPROACH - Bushwhack DIFFICULTY - Fairly Easy LOCATION - Suiattle River Road TYPE - Tiered HEIGHT - 30' WIDTH - 10' |
If it was up to me, this falls would be called Razor Rock Falls or Booby Trap Falls. Just below the bottom tier are some nice rocks that look like they should provide excellent footing. Ha! The rocks should come with a "Slippery When Wet" sign. I hit the rocks, slipped, and stuck my hand down to catch myself. In the process, I sliced it open on the razor sharp rocks. I probably should have went in for stitches, but I'm stubborn so I didn't. Be careful around the falls. Above this, the creek continues over a never ending series of drops, culminating in the 150' plunge of Suiattle Falls. Cross valley views indicate even more falls above that. In total, the creek may drop over 1000'. I still haven't figured out exactly how to split all the falls in the creek. |
