Little Weber Falls

Little Weber Falls is a surprisingly significant waterfall found along the Jackman Creek Road just outside of the Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest near Concrete. The falls drop for a total of 95 feet, first in a narrow veiling 63 foot horsetail, followed by a wider 23 foot curtain-style plunge and finishing with a cascade of 9 feet. The unnamed stream which produces the falls drains from a narrow ravine between Weber Creek and a much larger stream draining the north side of Bald Mountain. The size of the watershed would indicate the falls to likely be highly seasonally affected, but the terrain is heavily forested and receives heavy snow and rainfall during the winter, so there will more than likely be ample groundwater entering the drainage throughout the year to keep the falls running at least at a trickle.The name we've proposed for this waterfall stems from the stream's proximity to Weber Creek. The USGS Lake Shannon 1989 quadrangle marks a waterfall along Weber Creek (see link to Weber Falls below) but when the site was surveyed, no obvious waterfall could be seen. This leads us to believe that the cartographers charged with mapping this area erroneously marked this waterfall as being along Weber Creek, a sentiment compounded by the fact that this waterfall is partially visible from the road, while any waterfall which may exist along Weber Creek is not visible from the road at all.
