This gorgeous waterfall is the lowest of three notable waterfalls in a steep canyon on the west side of Mt. Shuksan. The falls plunge a sheer 106' into a gorgeous pool of perfect blue, glacial water. It should be possible to wade right up to the base of the falls, although it will require getting pretty wet and cold.
As beautiful as this waterfall is, it doesn't hold a candle to the two gigantic waterfalls a short distance upstream. Unfortunately, all three are extremely difficult to access, so for most people, this area is out of reach.
