Roush Creek Falls is a steep cascade in North Cascades National Park, Washington, U.S.[2] Glacial melt waters from Eldorado Glacier flow south creating Roush Creek. Not far from its origination, Roush Creek flows over Roush Creek Falls, which at 2,000 ft (610 m), is one of the tallest waterfalls in Washington.[3]
