Tyler Falls occurs on a very small stream around Lake Louise. While small, the falls are exceptionally scenic. They start with a 30' segmented plunge, immediately follow by a 10' horsetail. The middle section runs through a little slot before dropping over a perfectly shaped fan. Finally the creek dumps over a finally drop around 12' tall and then runs down under the road. Seeing the upper sections of the falls requires a little scrambling around but nothing too difficult. I've named this one after John Tyler, our 10th president. |
DIRECTIONS - Take
the Alger exit from I-5 between Burlington and Bellingham. Head east along Cain Lake
Road through Alger and go straight at the intersection with Old Highway 99. After a
few miles the road will intersect with Lake Whatcom Road. Turn left/straight.
Tyler Falls are found about a mile north of here and can be seen through the trees on the
left side of the road at a long corner. It's harder to spot the falls coming from the north. NEARBY WATERFALLS - Austin Creek Falls, Lower Austin Creek Falls, Lower Trataka Falls, Prospector Falls, Reveille Falls, Trataka Falls, Wildwood Cascades |
