Hike Description
Upper McCord Creek Falls is hidden away above mighty Elowah Falls. Pictures fail to do the matched pair of waterfalls justice. Though smaller than Elowah, they're a lot bigger than they seem at first glance. This is a fairly easy hike, appropriate for most beginners. There is a reasonable amount of climbing and a ledge section protected by sturdy handrails. Consider combining this hike with the Elowah Falls Hike.
Maps
- Maps: Hike Finder
This map is a bit misleading. Elowah Falls is where the top trail on the map crosses the creek. Upper McCord Creek Falls is where the bottom trail meets the creek.
