Description

The upper falls provide one good pitch of steep ice that is a little longer and harder than the Lower Haflin Creek Falls. It is necessary to rappel in from trees to reach the route. Be able to climb out or be prepared for a not-so-fun hike down the canyon.

Location

Follow the trail from the parking area for about 5 minutes to a small building where the trail forks. Take the left fork and switchback up the hill for awhile. Eventually the trail leads into Haflin Canyon. The upper falls become visible on the right. (A little over 2 miles).
