RHH's photos with the keyword: north fork nooksack river

This is Racehorse Creek, a tributary of the North Fork Nooksack River. Racehorse Falls is located upstream near the notch in the distant trees. We were there recently with a group of school kids doing some fossil hunting and exploring of the geology.

Racehorse Falls is not far from where we live and in the foothills of the North Cascades. Racehorse Creek, the creek on which the falls is found feeds the North Fork Nooksack River. The falls is named for the shape of a horse's head which can be seen to the left of the falls in this photo. When we visited the falls last, at the time of this photo, there was not a lot of water coming over. At snowmelt time, however, the falls are much more spectacular than this.
