Mt. Shuksan has a number of very similar looking waterfalls on its southwestern flank. They all drop hundreds of feet down massive, bare cliffs. None of them are horribly exciting other than their heights.

East Shuksan Falls is one such waterfall, sliding hundreds of feet down the mountainside to join Shuksan Creek from the east side of the valley. The view from near Lake Ann is not horribly impressive, but I also found a view from the bottom en route to massive Shuksan Creek Falls, and the waterfall is much more worthy from the bottom. Either way, it's sort of an afterthought compared to the views of Mt. Shuksan.
