MERRITT FALLS |
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION – Merritt Falls occurs where a small,
unnamed stream drops around 200' off the side of a cliff near the town of
Merritt. The Lake Ethel trail gets pretty close
to the bottom of the falls so bushwhacking to the base appears to be quite
possible, although I haven't tried it. DIRECTIONS – Merritt Falls can be seen from Highway 2
near the town of Merritt, about 18 miles east of Stevens Pass. There is
a wide shoulder on both sides of the highway marked as a Chain Up area.
The falls can be easily seen to the south from there. |
