LILY CREEK FALLS

PIERCE COUNTY

DIRECTIONS - Head east on Hwy 165 from the town of Buckley and turn right towards the small town of Carbonado.   After driving down the main street, turn left onto AP Tubbs Road.  Drive for around 1/2 a mile, keeping your eyes peeled back across the valley for the falls.   The view is pretty lousy as you can see below.
LOCATION - Carbonado Area

TYPE - Horsetail

HEIGHT - 250'

TYPE OF APPROACH - Roadside

DIFFICULTY - Very Easy

NEARBY WATERFALLS - Lily Creek Falls would probably be a very nice waterfall if a good view were possible.  Since the only view is from across the valley through the bushes I wouldn't get excited about this one.  It's probably worth the 5 minute detour if you're on your way to the Carbon River Entrance of MRNP but otherwise is a waste of time.  Hopefully a better view will become possible in the future but don't count on it.
