| 词条 | Waterfalls of the North Fork Cascade River Valley |
| 释义 |
There are multiple waterfalls in the basin of the North Fork Cascade River, a river in the North Cascades of Washington that drains to the Cascade River. Many of these are taller than the more famous waterfalls in North America, but do not receive much attention due to their remoteness. Main waterfallsBoston Creek Falls{{Infobox waterfall| name = Boston Creek Falls | alternate name = | photo = | photo_caption = | location = Skagit County, Washington, United States at {{coord|48.49298|N|121.07549|W}} | type = Tiered | height = {{convert|1627|ft|m}} | number_drops = }}Boston Creek Falls is a tall waterfall that drops {{convert|1627|ft|m}} off Forbidden Peak. With an average width of {{convert|25|ft|m}} and a run of {{convert|2800|ft|m}}, for the most part it is really more of a long cascade than a true waterfall. Its most prominent tier is a {{convert|500|ft|m}} veil visible from the road, and a {{convert|60|ft|m}} section of the falls is also in view from the road.[1] Torment Falls{{Infobox waterfall| name = Torment Falls | alternate name = | photo = | photo_caption = | location = Skagit County, Washington, United States at {{coord|48.49719|N|121.10602|W}} | type = Tiered | height = {{convert|1627|ft|m}} | number_drops = 4 }}Torment Falls, although similar in fashion to Boston Creek Falls, is steeper and often more impressive. The falls slide {{convert|1440|ft|m}} off Mount Torment in three or four tiers, in a run about {{convert|2600|ft|m}} long. Like Boston Creek Falls, the falls is mostly obscured due to its gently sloping nature, and is only partially visible from the road.[2] Roush Creek Falls{{Infobox waterfall| name = Roush Creek Falls | alternate name = | photo = | photo_caption = | location = Skagit County, Washington, United States at {{coord|48.50389|N|121.13722|W}} | type = Cascade | height = {{convert|1600|to|2400|ft|m}} | number_drops = }}Roush Creek Falls is a tall and powerful waterfall that cascades off the Eldorado Glacier. At about {{convert|2000|ft|m}} in height, though this measurement may vary as much as {{convert|400|ft|m}}, it is one of the tallest waterfalls in the state. The falls skip down the valley wall in several strands, before turning into a more vertical waterfall and pouring into the North Fork.[3] Johannesburg Falls{{Infobox waterfall| name = Johannesburg Falls | alternate name = | photo = | photo_caption = | location = Skagit County, Washington, United States at {{coord|48.47655|N|121.090132|W}} | type = Cascade | height = {{convert|2465|to|751|ft|m}} | number_drops = }}Johannesburg Falls, at {{coord|48|28|36|N|121|05|29|W}}, is a tall, low-volume cascade that falls vertically about {{convert|2465|ft|m}} from several small unnamed glaciers on Johannesburg Mountain. Its most prominent feature is its final vertical drop of {{convert|800|ft|m}}.[4] In overall height, it is the 19th tallest waterfall in the world.[5] Other waterfallsKnown waterfalls
