Blue Glacier Falls   (Confirmed)
   Jefferson County, Washington

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

Blue Glacier Falls occurs where Glacier Creek emerges from its source and plunges over a 400 foot wall to join its west fork before churning towards the Hoh River. The falls can be seen distantly from the Blue and Hoh Glaciers, but close access to the base of the falls will require a substantial downclimb - possibly involving technical climbing.
