This series of waterfalls occurs along the melt
streams coming the small glacier on the north side of the Sisters Range.
The streams are all small and the view from across the valley is long
distance so this isn't really worth the trouble of driving up the very rough
road unless you are already going up there for some other reason (nice view
of Baker and Warm Creek Falls are 2 such
reasons). It should be possible to get a closer view using the logging
roads on the south side of the Middle Fork, but this would involve a long
road walk or bike ride. From up close, this would be an impressive
site and the rating would go up substantially. |
| DIRECTIONS - Head
east on the Mt. Baker Highway and turn south onto Mosquito Lake Road. Soon you will
drive through the community of Happy Valley. Turn left onto Middle
Fork Road. Turn left onto Warm Creek Road (first road after the big bridge
over Clearwater Creek. Follow the road up, looking across the valley
at the Sisters Range as you go. You should see the falls. NEARBY WATERFALLS - Lower Wallace Creek Falls, Warm Creek Falls |
