DIRECTIONS - Hike two miles along the Lake Ann Trail to its junction with the Swift Creek Trail. Follow this trail for around two and a half miles to the falls. The trail crosses right through the middle of the falls.

Qanqan Falls occurs on a small stream that drops into the Swift Creek Valley. The falls begin with a 16' drop above the trail before cascading another 62' in a backwards C-shaped drop. A short scramble is required to view the falls from the front but it's nothing too horrible. Qanqan is a Nooksack word meaning thief. This waterfall stole my neutral density filter while I was taking pictures of it so I thought the name was fitting.
