Upper Tier of Bagley Lakes FallsBagley Creek flows out of the Bagley Lakes and drops over a long series of 10-15' tall tiers.  The area around the creek is covered with huge boulders and lots of wildflowers so it's a gorgeous locale.  The falls aren't worth the effort it took to get down there, although it looked like a larger tier may have been just downhill.  I'll try to get a view of the main section of this waterfall in future.  It was pouring down rain on my one trip in here.

 

DIRECTIONS - Drive up Mt. Baker Highway to the lower trailhead for the Chain Lakes Loop.  Just down from the parking lot, the trail crosses a small dam on Bagley Creek.  The falls occurs a short distance downstream from here but it is difficult to get to, especially if you want to keep your feet dry.
