Blueberry Falls

Blueberry Falls is a small but rather scenic waterfall set in a surprisingly impressive canyon along Park Creek, about a mile and a half upstream of where it drains into Baker Lake. The falls drop a total of 53 feet in two distinct steps - 22 and 31 feet respectively. The lower tier is especially scenic, plunging over a rounded lip into a pothole-scoured section of the canyon, with striking blue pools below (at least during the cooler months of the year). Unfortunately access to this waterfall require a moderately steep scramble to the canyon rim, followed by a sketchy descent into the canyon itself which shouldn't be attempted without the use of a rope. Because of this limitation, the falls are not terribly visible due to the thick surrounding forest (we didn't have a rope during our most recent survey so we could not obtain clear pictures of the falls). Park Creek is fed by one of the largest glaciers on Mount Baker, and will produce an impressive volume of melt water during the spring and summer months when the temperature climbs. During such times Blueberry Falls will swell to potentially impressive levels, but accessing a clear view of the falls will become even more hazardous as the creek is likely to envelop the entirety of the bottom of the canyon where clear views are obtained.This waterfall has no officially recognized name, so local waterfall hunter Aaron Young proposed this title after the copious amounts of wild berries growing around the canyon near the falls.
