At nearly 500 feet (150 m) high, it is said to be the largest waterfall in the Wells Creek watershed.

The uppermost tier is formed as Wells Creek squeezes between a "pinched" cliff and falls over 200 feet (61 m) in a horsetail form, reminiscent of Nevada Falls in Yosemite National Park.

The third tier is a short distance downstream, plunging about 150 feet (46 m) in a segmented form.

[2] The waterfall is easily seen from Wells Creek Road #33 in the Mount Baker Wilderness Area, approximately 7.5 miles (12.1 km) from Washington State Route 542.
