DIRECTIONS - Drive east on HWY 20 and turn left onto the Baker Lake Road. Just past the bridge over Boulder Creek, turn left onto FR 1130. Follow this for a few miles, taking a right at the first fork and a left at the second. Eventually you'll see the falls on the right.

Upper Morowitz Falls is a beautiful little falls that not too many people know of. Morowitz Creek tumbles 37' in a bowtie pattern into a small alcove located right next to the road. While small in statue, this is a very pretty waterfall that is easy to get to. I suspect there may be an additional waterfall located a short distance upstream but I haven't checked it out yet. If you are planning on visiting Rainbow Falls be sure to continue up the road to this gem as well.

If you do make it here, be sure to drive another few hundred feet up the road to a stunning view of Mt. Shuksan.
