Sulphide Creek Falls, Waterfall in North Cascades National Park, Washington, US.
Sulphide Creek Falls descends through multiple tiers over a vertical drop of 2,182 feet, forming one of the tallest waterfalls in North America.
The waterfall receives its name from the mineral deposits found near the headwaters, where molybdenite prospecting occurred during the 1950s.
The waterfall represents the natural forces that shaped the North Cascades region, drawing interest from mountaineers and nature researchers.
The Baker River Trail provides the nearest maintained path, yet reaching the waterfall requires navigating 2.5 miles of unmarked, dense vegetation.
Water volume reaches 500 cubic feet per second during summer months when the Sulphide and Crystal Glaciers experience increased melting.
