Others

Certainly there are a multitude of waterfalls within the North Cascades National Park and Ross Lake National Recreation Area; most of them not well documented.  Among those mapped, some of the set of eight Little Beaver Falls (u), USGS Mount Redoubt (1989 nl) and USGS Mount Challenger (1989 nl), might be visible from Trail #731.  The terrain is too rugged to access the following cataracts: Redoubt Valley Falls (u), USGS Mount Redoubt (1989 nl); Indian Valley Falls (u) and Upper Indian Valley Falls (u), both USGS Mount Redoubt (1989 nl); Luna Basin Falls (u), USGS Mount Challenger (1989 nl); Upper Luna Basin Falls (u), USGS Mount Challenger (1989 nl); Goodell Basin Falls (u), USGS Mount Challenger (1989 nl); East Picket Falls (u), USGS Mount Blum (1989 nl); Picket Basin Falls (u), USGS Mount Challenger (1989 nl); Icy Peak Falls (u), Lower Icy Peak Falls (u), Phantom Pass Falls (u), and Upper Pass Creek Falls (u) all USGS Mount Shuksan (1989 nl); Ruth Mountain Falls (u), USGS Mount Shuksan (1989 nl); Seahpo Peak Falls (u), and the set of five Sulphide Basin Falls (u), all USGS Mount Shuksan (1989 nl); Jasper Pass Falls (u), USGS USGS Mount Blum (1989 nl); West Picket Falls (u), Middle Picket Falls (u), and Pioneer Ridge Falls (u), all USGS Mount Blum (1989 nl); South Baker Falls (u) and North Bald Eagle Falls (u), both USGS Mount Blum (1989 nl); Upper Pass Valley Falls (u), Middle Pass Valley Falls (u), and Lower Pass Valley Falls (u), all USGS Mount Blum (1989 nl); Scramble Creek Falls (u), Scramble Valley Falls (u), Lower Bald Eagle Falls (u), and Upper Bald Eagle Falls (u), all USGS Mount Blum (1989 nl); Lower North Baker Falls (u) and Upper North Baker Falls (u), both USGS Mount Blum (1989 nl); and Mineral Creek Falls (u) and Mineral Mountain Falls (u), both USGS Mount Blum (1989 nl).

The shape of its gorge prevents a view of Gilbert Creek Falls (u), USGS Cascade Pass (1963 ns).
