TENNANT FALLS  
RATING - 22.0

This waterfall can be seen through the trees from the Heliotrope Ridge Trail as it heads up towards Kulshan Falls.  A closer view can be had by crossing Kulshan Creek just downstream from Kulshan Falls and then climbing up and across the steep hillside to the canyon.

I named the falls in honor of John Tennant who was one of the first people to summit Mt. Baker, along with Edmund Coleman.
