Mount Shuksan Waterfalls

Mount Shuksan Waterfalls consists of four distinct cascades: Seahpo Peak Falls, Cloudcap Falls, Rockflow Canyon Falls, and Jagged Ridge Falls, forming a complex water network.

The waterfall system carries the name Seahpo, derived from Chinook Jargon language, which translates to 'cap' in reference to the mountain's summit formation.

The waterfalls and surrounding mountains hold deep connections to Indigenous communities who have inhabited the North Cascades region for countless generations.

Access to the waterfalls varies by season, with summer offering optimal viewing conditions when glacial melt increases water flow to 500 cubic feet per second.

Sulphide Creek Falls, part of this system, drops 2,182 feet through eight distinct tiers, making it one of North America's highest waterfalls.
