Description

Added by Sonja Saxe

Explore this quick trail that leads you through a lush forest and delivers you to a beautiful and impressive waterfall!

This is a great low effort, high reward hike that offers several viewpoints along the trail of the falls below before it meanders all the way to the shore of the creek. While it doesn't take long to hike to this spot you can easily spend an entire morning or afternoon exploring everything it has to offer.

Make sure to beware of the creek levels in the winter and spring, the current is swift and a fall could be dangerous.

Summit Mount Ellinor

Hikers who reach the summit of Mount Ellinor are treated to a rarer view of Olympic National Park, one that is notably more immersive, rugged and dynamic than the common vista from Hurricane Ridge. Ellinor’s profile is, no doubt, familiar to most Seattleites, as it’s the Olympics’ southernmost prominence visible from the city. There are two options for hiking Mount Ellinor: a 7.2-mile roundtr...
