To reach Upper McCord Creek Falls, start hiking on the Gorge Trail (#400) in John B. Yeon State Park. At 0.3 miles you reach a junction. Turn right onto the Elowah Falls Trail. Follow this trail for about 0.6 miles up and past the overlook for Elowah Falls. At the end of the trail you will come to Upper McCord Creek Falls. Although listed at 100 ft. high, it seemed much smaller than this to us, and not as impressive as others in the gorge.
