Old Guard Falls

This is the major waterfall of the West Fork Agnes Creek, dropping some 350 feet in a booming series of plunges and cascades - and it is likely significant enough that were we able to properly survey the falls it could make it onto Washington's Top 10 list. The falls are found about four-fifths of a mile upstream of where the topographic maps show the Agnes Creek Trail ending, however reports from climbers suggest that the whole length of the trail up the West Fork from the PCT has been abandoned and amounts to a Survivorman level death marsh through some of the most brutal brush the Cascades have to offer. Chances are the only practical way to view this waterfall will be from the air.
