DIRECTIONS - Head east on Mt. Baker Highway and turn left onto Twin Lakes Road. Follow the rough road for around 8 miles where you can see the falls from the road if you can take your eyes off the amazing alpine scenery all around you.

Based on the Topo maps, there's a good chance the creek that drains Twin Falls is essentially one, very tall, multi-tiered waterfall. The lowest drop of the falls is all that can be easily seen. Google Earth imagery shows at least one fairly big looking plunge further upstream and the creek drops around 800' in 1/4 of a mile so there is definitely more to this falls than this drop. I'll try to investigate further in the future to find out for sure. For now, just consider this a little bonus to the amazing views of Goat Mountain to the east and the lovely Twin Lakes at the end of the road.
