Kulshan Creek drops over a very pretty 215' tall tiered waterfall right next to the Heliotrope Ridge Trail.  The view from the base makes the falls look shorter than it really is but from further back you can get a good sense of the height.  It appears as though Kulshan Creek contains at least two more waterfalls, one upstream and one downstream.
DIRECTIONS - Follow the directions to Rock Gnome Falls.  Continue along the trail for another 1/4 of a mile to a nice view of the falls.  The trail continues a little further to amazing views of Mt. Baker and the Coleman Glacier as well as several other falls.
