South out of Monroe along HWY 203. Just after the bridge over the Skykomish, turn
left onto Ben Howard Road. In about 7 miles, you will pass Cedar Ponds Road.
About a mile after this you should see a gated logging road heading uphill to the
left. Park here and walk a half a mile up the road to where the falls can be heard
on the left side of the road. Getting a clear view is pretty much impossible but the
trees around the falls are so mossy they really don't hurt pictures much. Keep
walking down the road another 50' or so and then head into the woods to see the upper tier
of the falls. NEARBY WATERFALLS - Marckworth Falls, Youngs Creek Falls |

Creek Falls is an extremely pretty waterfall. It begins with a block-shaped drop
about 8-10' tall and around 40' wide. Below this it drops over a gorgeous fan shaped
drop around 45' tall. There are a few smaller drops below this as well.
Unfortunately, the area around the falls has been used as a garbage dump. A short
distance upstream from the falls is a dam that creates a little pond. The dam could
probably be used to cross the creek. This would at least give you a better photo op
of the upper tier.
