 This
waterfall can be distantly seen from the Swift Creek Trail. The topo
maps show an upper falls as well but we couldn't see it from the trail.
I think it is at the elbow of this little canyon where it turns up to the
left in this picture. In addition, the topos have a waterfall dropping
in just below this waterfall. I believe this is the dark spot on the
right hand side of the canyon that crosses behind the tree. This creek
might have a little more water normally, but certainly not enough to warrant
a page on the site. Chowash is a Nooksack word meaning "wife". |
