DIRECTIONS - Follow the directions to Rock Gnome Falls. Continue along the trail for another 1/8 of a mile as it climbs up towards Kulshan Falls. The falls can be seen through the trees from a switchback in the trail. Getting up close requires crossing Kulshan Creek at the bottom of Kulshan Falls and then sidehilling over to the falls. It's not super difficult, but if you fall it's gonna hurt.

This waterfall can be seen through the trees from the Heliotrope Ridge Trail as it heads up towards Kulshan Falls. A closer view can be had by crossing Kulshan Creek just downstream from Kulshan Falls and then climbing up and across the steep hillside to the canyon.

I named the falls in honor of John Tennant who was one of the first people to summit Mt. Baker, along with Edmund Coleman.
