This little creek runs off the west side of
Loomis Mountain and eventually joins the South Fork of the Nooksack. The
bottom tier is a pretty 45' tall horsetail. The creek very likely runs dry
late in the summer. Normally this falls wouldn't be very notable but it's
right on the way to Bridal Veil Falls and is easily viewable from the road.
The road to both Loomis and Bridal Veil Falls is closed until July 1st every
year to protect Elk habitat.
