Gorge Creek

[yyakk7]

This beautiful and challenging canyon is readily accessible from the North Cascades Highway. A highway bridge crosses the gorge far above the creek providing an outstanding view of several waterfalls cascading through a narrow slot. Gorge Creek is recommended only for experienced canyoneers who are comfortable with rappels in swift water canyons. Plan on doing five or six rappels, a few short swims, and some belayed downclimbing. The water shed is quite small, but high elevation snowfields insure a steady water flow through the summer.
