Remote Northeastern Washington - Fri, 14 May 2021. 4pm.

In my previous blog I described how one waterfall we visited was basically just an unmarked pullout on a remote country highway in eastern Washington. That's pretty shocking for a pair of drops totaling over 100'. Well, the next waterfall we visited today was given only slightly more honor.... Sweet Creek Falls is at basically a highway rest stop further east. Relative to Crystal Falls it's quite glorified. There are signs, and painted lines for parking spaces! But oh, how glorious it is.

A short, mostly level walk on a good trail leads to a view of the lower cascade.

Doubling back to the parking lot and taking the other trail, a slightly harder walk with some ascent, leads to view of the upper cascade.

Then, of course, there's the view of both cascades.

This is the kind of highway rest stop we really enjoy!
