UPPER SOLDIER BOY FALLS  
RATING - 32.0

 

Soldier Boy Falls is a pretty fan-shaped waterfall located right next to Cascade River Road, just before the Cascade Pass parking lot.  The same creek drops over this nice upper falls a short distance upstream.  The creek likely has multiple waterfalls on it, but these two are easy to view.  The waterfall drops 178' right next to the Cascade Pass Trail.  A few trees unfortunately block clear views and the hill around the creek is steep enough that scrambling to the bottom for a clear view is difficult.  This isn't a major attraction, but if you're already hiking the trail there's no reason not to take a couple minutes to take a peek.
