Snawes Falls is a pair of tall, lacy waterfalls that drops down the northwest side of Mt. Shuksan and eventually join Shuksan Creek.  Below the convergence of these two streams, there is another waterfall that may be reachable on foot by following a very old Forest Service Road.  I haven't attempted it yet though.

"Snawes" is a Salish Indian word meaning "cloud".  Mt. Shuksan is often covered with clouds in this area; so much so, in fact, that it took me 4 trips up the road before it was clear enough to actually see the falls.
