Heather Creek contains a long, impressive series of cascades as it approaches the Stillaguamish River.  The main section of the falls is about 40' tall and 30' wide, tearing down a wide rock face.  Below this is a 15' tall, 75' wide segmented drop and there are several smaller drops above.  The view from the road is not very good, and bushwhacking to a clear view will get you wet, dirty, and scratched up.  If the water level isn't very high, I wouldn't ever worry about the close view and just move on to Triple Creek at the end of the road.

DIRECTIONS - Follow the directions to First Falls.  Once over the bridge, turn right and drive for another mile and a half to a swampy area on the left.  The falls should be visible through the trees.  Getting a close view is fairly difficult but if you can get above the bottom tier you'll get a nice look at the main section.
