If it was up to me, this falls would be called Razor Rock Falls or Booby Trap Falls.  Just below the bottom tier are some nice rocks that look like they should provide excellent footing.  Ha!  The rocks should come with a "Slippery When Wet" sign.  I hit the rocks, slipped, and stuck my hand down to catch myself.  In the process, I sliced it open on the razor sharp rocks.  I probably should have went in for stitches, but I'm stubborn so I didn't.  Be careful around the falls.

Climbing up the side of the creek will reveal many more tiers of the falls, culminating in the 150' plunge of Suiattle Falls.  Be careful if you do climb upstream.  The canyon gets steeper and deeper.  Cross valley views indicate even more falls above that.  In total, the creek may drop over 1000'.  It's a little difficult to split the waterfall up and if someone wanted to call this one continuous waterfall I wouldn't argue with them.  I decided to split it in two at the bottom of the horsetail below the plunging portion of Suiattle Falls.
