Neve Creek Falls is one of the best waterfalls in the North Cascades (and that's saying a lot!). Neve Creek begins a short distance upstream, drops over what looks like a spectacular waterfall at the toe of the Neve Glacier, and then a short distance downstream drops off the edge of the world into the valley below via this massive waterfall. While the overall pitch of the falls is not very steep, many of the individual drops are vertical or very near vertical in nature. I measured the falls at 798' tall, but it's actually a little taller than that as I was reaching the end of my rangefinder's distance.

As astounding as this waterfall is, the incredible difficulty of accessing it means that very few people will ever see it.
