RAINBOW FALLS |
||
| RATING - 6/10 TYPE OF APPROACH - Roadside DIFFICULTY - Very Easy LOCATION - Baker Lake Area TYPE - Tiered HEIGHT - 170' WIDTH - 25' |
|
Rainbow Creek drops off
the edge of the cliff face and falls for about 100' before hitting the cliff and spreading
out in a huge spray of water and falling another 70'. The views of the falls are
annoying because there are always a few branches in the way. If I can figure out a
way to get a clear view of the falls (and I have a plan to do that), the rating will
almost assuredly go up. There is an upper falls about a mile and a half upstream that I will visit in 2010. |
| DIRECTIONS - Follow
the directions to Lower Morowitz Falls.
Continue driving up the road, taking the left at the fork in the road. A short
distance later you will come to a switchback with the falls off to the right.
Slightly better views can be had by climbing down the steep hill to the edge of the canyon
but be careful. The drop is steep and deadly. NEARBY WATERFALLS - Blueberry Falls, Boulder Camp Falls, Lava Divide Falls, Lower Morowitz Falls, Rainbow Falls |
