 I
found this small, but very pretty waterfall while looking for a much larger
waterfall a little upstream. While this is a pretty spot, I wouldn't
recommend climbing down into the canyon just for this waterfall.
You'll have to climb all the way back out to get to the main falls on the
creek and the climb is not worth it for this little one. If you, like
I did, happen to enter the canyon too far downstream and bump into this one,
then it's definitely worth stopping to take some pictures. |
| DIRECTIONS - Drive east on the Mt Baker Highway towards the town of Glacier. A couple miles west of town, turn right onto Cornell Creek Road. Follow the road to a gated logging road at the east end of Cornell Ck Road. Park and walk up the road. In about 1.75 miles, the road will encounter the first of several sharp switchbacks to the road. Plunge into the woods here and follow the canyon down and slightly upstream to the falls. | |
