Closer look at Lower Huntoon FallsThe Lake Anne Trail drops quickly from the parking lot and then enters a pretty meadow with a nice creek.  A short distance downstream from the trail crossing the creek, it drops over two waterfalls.  The upper falls is the taller of the two but can't be clearly seen.  The lower falls can be seen clearly from the edge of the canyon.  The falls drops in a series of small drops into an otherworldly canyon that looks like it should be on the moon.  While the creek is very small and fairly seasonal, the location and the amazing canyon makes this a really cool spot.

DIRECTIONS - From the Lake Ann Trailhead near the end of Mt. Baker Highway, hike along the trail for about a mile and a half to where the trail crosses the creek near the end of the meadows.  Bushwhack down the west side of the creek.  It's brushy at first, but once the canyon opens up you should find a very obvious mountain goat trail running along the rim of the canyon.  Follow it down until you see the falls.
