Bachsten Falls, shown at right, is a short walk from the Bachsten campground. Few people go past it to explore the gorge below or the other branch of Bachsten Creek.

Our walk begins by following a moderately well defined track to the bottom of Bachsten Falls, then following the creek downstream before crossing a low pass to get to a lovely gorge on the other branch of Bachsten Creek.

Just past the right photo above, we climb out of the gorge and walk across to the top of a lovely waterfall. This saves time and avoids a pack float. We camp above the falls and explore both upstream and down.

On our last visit, the weather was perfect and there were so few insects that some people decided to sleep in the open.

The walk between the two branches of Bachsten Creek is fairly easy as shown right above. A few hours after leaving the north branch, we are back at our vehicles ready to continue to the next walk.
