Diobsud Falls   (Confirmed)
   Whatcom County, Washington

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

This waterfall is found on a branch of Diobsud Creek near its headwaters on Bacon Peak. The stream originates from meltstreams, several small tarns and a small lake in the basin directly south of Bacon Peak. Diobsud Creek proper originates in the Diobsud Glacier to the northwest and cascades steeply down a deep, narrow canyon which does not appear to harbor any major waterfalls. The branch harboring this waterfall plunges at least 400 feet over a sheer cliff to meet Diobsud Creek in the basin below this canyon, with a second fall of about 80 feet a short distance downstream. Access to the falls appears exceptionally difficult and because no trails exist in the area, would likely require several days of hiking to reach on foot.
