The Cascade Basin is an amazing place. Surrounded by glaciated mountains on all sides and waterfalls all around. The four falls I refer to as Cascade Basin Falls are all to the south of the trailhead and drop off of Cascade Peak into the North Fork Cascade River. Each of these falls are several hundred feet tall and are all unique in appearance.
