Upper Morowitz FallsUpper Morowitz Falls is a beautiful little falls that not too many people know of.  Morowitz Creek tumbles 37' in a bowtie pattern into a small alcove located right next to the road.  While small in statue, this is a very pretty waterfall that is easy to get to.  I suspect there may be an additional waterfall located a short distance upstream but I haven't checked it out yet.  If you are planning on visiting Rainbow Falls be sure to continue up the road to this gem as well.

 
Winter at Upper Morowitz Falls

DIRECTIONS - Follow the directions to Lower Morowitz Falls.  Continue driving up the road, taking the left at the fork in the road.  After a while you will pass Rainbow Falls.  Continue on for another half mile or so until you see the falls on your right.  A few hundred feet up the road is supposed to be a great view of Mt. Shuksan, but it's been cloudy both times I've been here.
