Ladder Creek Falls is behind the Gorge Powerhouse just east of Newhalem. Cross the foot suspension bridge to the powerhouse and follow the signs for a short loop trail (less than half a mile) that takes you through manicured gardens that have been delighting visitors to the Skagit Hydroelectric Project for over 75 years. Some steep steps with handrails. 

Directions: At milepost 120 park across the river from the Gorge Powerhouse.

No pass required
