Easy paved access. Beautiful waterfall. Stunning fauna.

Madison Falls is at the end of a 200 foot paved pathway. It is approximately 60 feet tall and lingers in the midst of incredible lush forest. Enjoy it from a viewing point of up close and personal where you can see the greenest of moss growing up along the rocks.

This was a quick, beautiful hike. Honestly took us less than 5-10 minutes, but one of the few places you can bring dogs within Olympic!

Note: This route is now closed due to a washed out road. The current route is via the Madison Falls Trailhead. Located in the Olympic National Park, the trailhead lies at the en...

Cliff Jump & Swim on the Elwha River

Tucked away in the trees along Olympic Hot Springs Road, the Elwha River slows to a crawl and forms a perfect natural swimming hole. It is a great place to cool off, picnic, and enjoy the beautiful forest surrounding the Elwha River. The river's water is crystal clear and a vivid blue-green color. It runs down from the Olympic Mountains, so make no mistake, the water is very cold. If you...
