  WELLS CREEK FALLS

RATING - 8/10

TYPE OF APPROACH - Roadside

DIFFICULTY - Very Easy

LOCATION - Wells Creek Road

TYPE - Plunge

HEIGHT - 100'

WIDTH - 15'

Wells Creek Falls is one of my favorites.  It is located on Wells Creek Road a short distance before crossing over Bar Creek.  The falls drop into a beautiful amphitheater before rolling down a short canyon and below the road.  Wells Creek has a plethora of waterfalls along its route, but this is the only one that can be easily viewed from up close.  Getting a clear view usually requires fording the creek at least once.  It's not too difficult but something to keep in mind.

DIRECTIONS -  Follow the directions to Nooksack Falls.  Stay on Wells Creek Road until it crosses Wells Creek in about 5 miles.  The falls can be seen from the road, but to get a clear view you'll have to walk up the creek a little ways.  Wells Creek Road is closed from November through June.
