ROCK GNOME FALLS |

This waterfall got its name from Bryan Swan because the rock on the left side of the falls reminded him of the Rock Gnome from Return to Oz . . . works for me. The creek the falls lie on is very small so don't come expecting a massive waterfall. It's a pretty spot though and since it's on the way to several other falls it's worth checking out. On my visit, the falls were basically a trickle of water over the rock face. |
| DIRECTIONS - Head
East on the Mt. Baker Highway to the town of Glacier. Just past the town turn right
onto Glacier Creek Road. In a few miles the road crosses Glacier Creek and climbs up
the hillside to the Heliotrope Ridge Trailhead. Park and hike up the trail for about
1.8 miles to where the falls drops right next to the trail. NEARBY WATERFALLS - Kulshan Falls, Roosevelt Falls, Twin Falls |
