LOWER SULPHUR CREEK FALLS

RATING - 4/10

TYPE OF APPROACH - Bushwhack

DIFFICULTY - Fairly Easy

LOCATION - Baker Lake Area

TYPE - Plunge

HEIGHT - 24'

WIDTH - 5'

Sulphur Creek runs through a narrow chute before launching itself out into a pool of crystal clear water.  The cliff surrounding the falls is undercut making a little cave underneath.  During the spring and summer there are a lot of bees near where you drop into the canyon so keep your eyes open.   I'd love to come up with a more fitting name for this one so if you can think of anything, let me know.  On my most recent trip to the falls I dropped a tape over the top and measured it at 24' tall.

DIRECTIONS - Drive out the Baker Lake Road and turn right onto the road leading to the Upper Baker Dam (FR 1106).   Just after turning on this road you will drive over a wooden bridge.  Park at the small pullout just over the bridge.  The falls are about 200' downstream from here.   Head downstream through the brush until you find a small path leading down to the creek below the falls.  The way is brushy but not too difficult.
