DIRECTIONS - Drive east on Highway 2 from Everett. About 8 miles east of Skykomish, turn left onto FR 67 and follow it for around 3 miles. The falls are on the Tye River and can be viewed by scrambling down the bank to the river.

The Tye River crashes over two tiers surrounded by massive boulders and "choked" by logs. The falls aren't necessarily pretty but are very powerful. It is also possible to climb down the bank from Highway 2 for a view from the opposite side of the river.
