I finally got a waterfall that has been on my hit list for about 4 years. It's actually relatively easy to get a through-the-trees view, but seeing it this clearly is a pretty dangerous process. I semi-measured the falls as 78' tall and the "creek" is gigantic in volume so it's a very impressive waterfall.

I stumbled across a small waterfall tucked into a drainage on the north side of Garfield Mountain not far from the Taylor River.

That's a nice one puzzlr. You have a more specific location for that one (GPS coordinates for example).

Thanks. Here's my new one from today: Little Mountain Falls near Glacier, WA. It's about 350-400' tall in total. The main drop is around 250' by itself but I didn't get a super clear view of it. I'll do that in the spring when the creek is really roaring with snowmelt:

Nice one. Looks like lots of water now. Location near Glacier?

It's on Lookout Creek. You drive over the creek about 2 miles east of Glacier (although it doesn't look all that impressive from the highway). There are directions here: Little Mountain Falls

Here's a new one up near the headwaters of the Samish River. I heard about this one from a lady that works for Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group:

Was looking for a hike where I could get in some mileage, not run into snow and see some wild flowers. After seeing trip report on WTA I decided do Ingalls Creek, I've been wanting to do this hike for a while.

A couple years back I found this little waterfall on West Cornell Creek near Glacier, WA.

I finally made it back in there this weekend to get the main waterfall(s) on the creek. Getting clear views of these waterfalls is pretty dangerous and involves climbing down nearly vertical canyon walls. Middle Cornell Creek Falls consists of 18' worth of cascades and then this beautiful 26' tall main drop (pardon the rain drops on the lens):

Just upstream is Cornell Creek Falls, which is 118' tall including a 72' tall main drop:
