Jumbo Mountain Falls is a 200-foot waterfall in Snohomish County, Washington, in the North Cascades region. It lies about 5.3 miles south of Darrington and roughly 28.4 miles east of Marysville as the crow flies.
At 200 feet it stands in the tallest quarter of Washington’s 941 waterfalls with a recorded height, ranking 199th; the typical Washington waterfall is about 82 feet. By form it is a plunge, where the water drops vertically and loses contact with the rock face.

Meltwater from glaciers and snowfields pours down thousands of feet of cliffs in countless cascades and horsetail falls.
