Deadhorse Falls is not an easy waterfall to get to, but it's worth the effort. Along the way, you will be required to ford Deadhorse Creek several times, scoot along steep hillsides above the creek bed, and climb over slippery rocks and logs. In the end, Deadhorse Falls awaits. The falls consist of three main drops with several smaller drops below. The top tier is a plunge of around 125' that is cut very deeply into the cliff face. From there the creek splits around a huge rock and runs over two side-by-side drops of about 50'. Finally, it runs over a third tier of around 30' in height. The total of these three drops is around 200' with a few more smaller drops added below bringing the total to roughly 250'. The entire canyon is among the most rugged looking places I've ever seen and is a true adventure in every sense of the word. |
| DIRECTIONS - Take
the Mt Baker Highway east to Glacier and turn right onto Glacier Creek Road.
Immediately turn left onto Deadhorse Creek Road. Follow it for around 6 miles past
lovely Cascade Creek Falls. Once at the creek,
work your way upstream into the rugged canyon to views of the falls. Getting close
will require at least one ford of the creek. NEARBY WATERFALLS - Boyd Creek Falls, Cascade Creek Falls, Lower Deadhorse Falls |
