Borealis Falls   (Confirmed)
   Skagit County, Washington

[ Physical Makeup ]  [ Pictures ]  [ Maps ]  [ Update History ]

This waterfall cascades thousands of feet down the east side of Tricouni Peak from the Borealis Glacier. Substantial surveying will have to be done to yield an accurate idea of the size and scope of the falls, but it could have a total drop of close to 3000 feet should the stream prove to be falling and cascading over bedrock for most of its length (in reality its probably closer to 2000 feet tall).
