EMERALD POOL FALLS

RATING - 4/10

TYPE OF APPROACH - Roadside

DIFFICULTY - Very Easy

LOCATION - Washington Pass Area

TYPE - Fan

HEIGHT - 45'

WIDTH - 10'

This creek drops 45' down a rock face before continuing under Highway 20 and on to the Skagit.  The Waterfall Lover's Guide calls this Bebee Creek Falls.  The name Emerald Pool Falls comes from Bryan Swan and sounds much better than Bebee Creek Falls.  From the road the falls appears to be a horsetail style waterfall but walking up to the base gives a good view of the nice fan shape.

DIRECTIONS - Take HWY 20 east to the Ross Dam Trailhead.  Continue on 20 for another 10 1/3 miles to where the falls are seen on the right side of the road.  If you reach the Four Mile Trailhead you've gone too far.  The rocks along the creek are very slick but it's possible to climb upstream to the base if you're careful.
