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

Snawes Falls is the only one of these falls that can be seen pretty easily from the road near Baker Hot Springs. Lower Snawes Falls can be seen from the ridge south of Lake Ann with enough work. It drops around 300' in height, but is a little more significant than some of the other tall Shuksan waterfalls because the volume is higher. It's still not very exciting from a mile away though.
