 The creek that contains
Suiattle Falls and Lower Suiattle Falls is essentially one very tall waterfall containing
numerous drops along the way. From the start of the falls to the
bottom at the road, the creek drops a total of
about 1300', virtually all of which is waterfall
of some sort. Splitting the creek into
different waterfalls becomes sort of arbitrary
but I've done the best I can.The main section of the falls plunge about 150' before hitting a dome of rock and immediately horsetailing down the mountainside, becoming Lower Suiattle Falls at some point along the way. Above this drop are more falls which can be seen from across the valley or if you can make your way above the falls (see picture below). If you do climb into the falls be very careful. A slip on the rocks will kill you. |
| DIRECTIONS - Follow
the directions to Suiattle Falls. The upper tier can be seen from the road.
It's possible to get right up next to the falls with enough work but it is
difficult and very dangerous. NEARBY WATERFALLS - Huckleberry Falls, Suiattle Falls, Teepee Falls, Uproot Falls |
