- Best Waterfall:
- Nooksack Falls: A thundering waterfall is just a short drive off of Mount Baker Highway (542) and is right next to the parking lot. Be careful as there are many signs of the number of people who have fallen in. There is a chainlink fence next to the trails, but we would advise not to lean on it.
