Rainbow
Creek begins at the Rainbow Glacier and immediately drops over this
waterfall out of one
toe of the glacier. The waterfall is a horsetailing drop about 180'
tall. From the viewpoint atop the ridge north of Rainbow Creek, the
waterfall is just a small accent to the scene. Combined with nearby
Avalanche Gorge Falls and the amazing view of Baker, this is a great scene
though.
