It’s no secret that Washington is home to some seriously stunning waterfalls, like the iconic Palouse Falls and Snoqualmie Falls. That being said, our state is also home to some hidden gems you’d never spot unless you know exactly where to look. Sunbeam Falls is definitely one of them.
But luckily, it's not hidden deep within the forest — in fact, you won't even have to hike to reach it.
The waterfall is located near the Bench Lake Trailhead, above Louise Lake. Just look for the Sunbeam Creek sign by the side of the road. You'll be able to see the falls from the road.

The nearby Louise Lake helps to regulate the flow of water down the creek late in the season, but once the winter's snow has melted off (which tends to take until July), the volume of water in the creek drops substantially.
But if you didn't know what you were looking for, you may not even spot Sunbeam Falls.
