    Route Description for Walupt Creek Falls Hike

    Walupt Creek Falls isn’t for the faint of heart, but it’ll do the trick for intrepid adventurers. This short, hard trail isn’t actually a designated or maintained trail at all. It leads you to a magnificent waterfall that you’ll quite likely have all to yourself.

    There isn’t any defined parking at the trailhead, so use your judgement in finding a safe place to park. Additionally, the trailhead isn’t obvious whatsoever, so we recommend downloading your GPS track before starting the drive to help you get to the right spot. There is no cell service near the trailhead and you’ll want a downloaded track to follow in case you find yourself getting lost, which is possible on this hike.

    Head up across Walupt Creek. This section of trail may flood in the rain- yes, the hazards never end! Expect a bushy, overgrown route as you follow the creek to the falls. As long as you hug the creek, you should be able to reach the falls. If you lose the creek, try to return to it.

    Arrive at the falls. You can head down the slope to view them from the base if you’d like. They’re quite impressive! When you’re ready retrace your steps back to the trailhead.
