As spring makes a tentative appearance in the Pacific Northwest and the Cascades begin to thaw, any obstical becomes a waterfall, even if a minor one. This tiny stream in near Denny Creek has a small wooden bridge for the hiker. The trail more or less hugs the stream, although switch-backs keep it out of view (but within ear-shot) most of the way up.

A wider view of the stream and waterfall is below.
