DIRECTIONS - From Mt. Baker Highway, turn south onto Glacier Creek Road and make an immediate left onto Deadhorse Creek Road (signed for the Skyline Divide Trail). In 3 miles, park at the turnout for the Boyd Creek Interpretive Trail. The falls can be heard from the parking lot and seen a few hundred feet up the trail. Getting a closer view is possible with a short bushwhack but it's probably not worth the effort.

Boyd Creek Falls is sort of a smaller, uglier version of nearby Cascade Creek Falls. Boyd Creek runs over a series of small drops that is absolutely choked with logs. If the creek ever floods and clears the logs out, this could be a nice little waterfall. Until then, it's quite a let down. I'm not sure how high up the hill the cascades go but I will check it out more closely on my next trip to the area.
