Unicorn Creek is located in the Tatoosh Range within Mount Rainier National Park, east of Paradise just off Stevens Canyon Road. It is the outlet of Snow Lake (elev. 4,688 ft), which is recharged by the Unicorn Glacier above (actually a semi-permanent snowfield). The creek descends 1,300ft in just under a mile. Columnar basalt is prevalent throughout. The character of the creek begins casually and gains momentum, culminating in the spectacular Martha Falls amphitheater just before the confluence with Stevens Creek.
- Much of Unicorn Creek can be seen from across the canyon along Stevens Canyon Road (GPS point for pull out is 46.7707, -121.6898). This is also where the reference picture is taken.
- Watershed: 1.25mi^2. The creek drains a north-facing snowfield. The high point in the drainage is Unicorn Peak at about 6900ft elevation.
- Please plan for any potential entry restrictions for Mount Rainier National Park.
