Sumas Mountain, P-1000, and P-1200 OHV Trail

Racehorse Creek is broken up into four distinct waterfalls that drop a total of 140ft through a relatively shallow gorge. The first two waterfalls are punchbowl-type falls that have deep holes at their bases. Immediately below the second waterfall, the creek descends rapidly before it arrives at the biggest drop. The creek plunges from below an undercut ledge which causes the water to fan out ...
