Fisher Creek

Fisher Creek is a tributary of the North Fork Tilton River outside Morton, WA. We suspect this creek is best in spring and fall when there's a good bit of water. The encroaching vegetation on the sides suggests that Fisher runs very low by mid-summer. If water levels are low, you might be better off continuing on up to Wallanding Creek further up the road.

From the switchback, head south, taking the path of least resistance down into a minor tributary creek that leads you down into Fisher Creek. The tributary some minor downclimbing but was largely open and brush-free. Approach to the creek takes about 5-10min. You'll drop in just below a minor 8ft drop just upstream. (No, there are no more drops upstream... we checked.)

Fisher Creek has a large number of short drops. You may end out doing more or less rappels depending your comfort level. The original team rappelled at least two drops just because they looked fun. There are a few pools, but mostly chest-deep or less. The technical sequence begins with a downclimb DCR around some logs to the top of R1. Beyond this point, there are no more technical obstacles, but the creek becomes rather jungle-y / overgrown.
