Hannah's Falls appears to be a rather substantial waterfall located on Porter Creek near the Middle Fork of the Nooksack. The falls occur about a mile upstream from Mosquito Lake Road and there are no trails into the area. On my trip in, I simply climbed up the creek, getting very wet and dirty in the process. I eventually got a view of the 45' tall waterfall in these pictures. Just upstream and around the corner should be a much taller drop. Judging from the height of the vertical cliff walls around the creek, this upper drop should be at least 100' tall but getting a view of it will be tricky (I've got a couple ideas). In keeping with a tradition of naming waterfalls after females, I named the falls after my niece Hannah, whose last name happens to be Porter.
