Sulphur Creek is a
beautiful creek located on the southeast side of Mt. Baker. Along it's route are at
least three waterfalls, this one being the uppermost of the three. Here Sulphur
Creek drops about 15' over a ledge into a gorgeous pool of beautiful blue water surrounded
by mossy cliffs and rocks. Just downstream is an amazing little 3' tall drop that is
one of the most photogenic scenes I've ever been witness too. This falls was
previously grouped with Sulphur Creek Falls as one
waterfall. I split the two up because I felt they were not close enough together to
be considered part of the same waterfall.

| DIRECTIONS - Drive
out the Baker Lake Road and turn left onto FR 12 towards Schriebers Meadows. In
around a mile and a half, the road will go over Sulphur Creek (first creek with a bridge).
Park here and head downstream through the woods along the right side of the creek
for around 1000' to the falls. Some steep but fairly easy scrambling is necessary to
get to the creek below the falls. NEARBY WATERFALLS - Lower Sulphur Creek Falls, Sulphur Creek Falls |
