Northwest Waterfall Survey: Upper Morovitz Falls

Upper Morovitz Falls is a 40-foot bow-tie shaped falls in a narrow gully beside National Forest Road 1130 in the Baker Lake area, Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. From US 20 at Birdsview, take the signed Baker Lake road (Road 11) for 18.5 miles to the Boulder Creek bridge. Just past the bridge turn left on Road 1130 and drive 5.5 miles, 1.1 miles past the Rainbow Falls overlook, to the second crossing of Morovitz Creek. The falls nearly spray onto the road before entering a culvert. Views of Mount Shuksan are a few hundred feet further up the road.

Morovitz Creek has a very small drainage. The Northwest Waterfall Survey says the falls show well from late April to early July and drop to a trickle or dry up once snow on the ridge has melted.
