Upper Walupt Creek Falls
   Lewis County, Washington

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

Walupt Creek intersects the bedrock that forms the Cispus Canyon about 1/5th of a mile above Walupt Creek Falls and has worn it down in several places to create this small series of 3 broad veils that total 61 feet in height (24,8,29 feet respectively). The falls are easily seen from the herd paths that follow along the creek, but clear views of the whole waterfall will only be possible from within the creek itself.
