Upper Quartz Creek Falls   (Confirmed)
   Skamania County, Washington

[ Physical Makeup ]  [ Pictures ]  [ Maps ]  [ Update History ]

This is possibly the most significant waterfall along Quartz Creek as it cascades off the south shoulder of Strawberry Mountain near Ryan Lake in Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. The falls can be partially seen from FR 26 near Ryan Lake, but distantly. A close approach likely will be prohibitively brushy.
