NEARBY WATERFALLS - Heather Meadows Falls is located right next to the Mt. Baker Highway, just before the loop around Picture Lake.  The falls are in one of the most photographed areas in the world, so they are seldom noticed.   As you can see, they can be very beautiful in their own right.  During lower water levels the falls can become much less impressive, but if you get them in the right conditions they can be phenomenal.
