![]() It is a great trail that I suggest to my readers who are beginner hikers or have kids. When it comes to family hikes near Seattle, Twin Falls wins almost every time. Location: North Bend Area / Olallie State Park.The waterfall was a lot bigger and more impressive than I thought it would be. It really blew my expectations out of the water. This waterfall hike was on my bucket list for years, and I am glad I finally saw it. It was good exercise, and not the end of the world to add a few more miles. We decided to park at the Bud Blancher (as shown in the AllTrails Map above), and there might be a trailhead that is closer to the waterfalls, but it was a bit confusing to find, so we decided to walk a bit longer to see the waterfalls. The Middle Falls, you can go behind the waterfall, but we opted not to because it would have soaked us and we were freezing already. The Lower Falls and Middle Falls were my favorites, and I was not too impressed with the Upper Falls. There are three waterfalls total that you can explore in this area, and they are called Little Mashel Lower Falls, Little Mashel Middle Falls, and Little Mashel Upper Falls. It is also great to see it in the Spring when the waterfall is gushing. The stunning fall colors surrounding these waterfalls are majestic. Little Mashel Falls is a fantastic spot to visit during the Fall. They have a fantastic brunch, and it is a great place to take people from out of town. I also love eating at the Salish Lodge & Spa restaurant after experiencing the waterfall. If you want to see some beautiful fall colors visit around October, as shown in the picture above! But please note that it might be rainy. If you want to make your trip a little more worthwhile, do the easy 1.5-mile hike. Walk on over to the viewpoint, and voila! Waterfall galore. ![]() You don’t need to do the Snoqualmie Falls hike to see this majestic place. Snoqualmie Waterfall is probably the most visited waterfall on this list. Parking Pass: There is a fee but park across the street to avoid it.Myrtle Falls is a part of the famous Skyline trail, but if you don’t want to hike the whole 5.5 miles, you can definitely hike straight to the waterfall. It is a wonderful view and can easily be accessed by most people. However, if you capture it right on a beautiful clear day, you can frame Mount Rainier to be in the picture with the waterfall. Myrtle Falls is probably the most photographed waterfall on this list. I suggest combining Panther Creek Falls which I talk about below. However, it is such a shame that it is farther away from Seattle when compared to the other waterfalls. Overall this is an outstanding trail that I always recommend to people. Unfortunately, it was pouring rain when we hiked this trail, but luckily it wasn’t too hard or long for us to get annoyed with the rain. I also love that this is a moderate hike. ![]() I love how it has two different layers, and I like that I can take my dog. Location: Columbia River Gorge/ Gifford Pinchot National Forestįalls Creek Falls is my favorite waterfall in Washington! If someone told me I could only visit one waterfall for the rest of my life, I would probably pick this one.If you go in the winter, there might be a ton of snow so bring some microspikes or snowshoes. ![]() You can view this waterfall all year long as long as the Longmire to Paradise Road is open (it usually is). It is a pretty short walk to witness this stunning area. Just head down the trail until you reach the viewpoint. Narada Falls is a quick pitstop when you are headed to the popular Paradise area in Mount Rainier National Park. This is a great family hike, and it is the start of one of the most popular backpacking trails in the Olympic National Park: The High Divide. ![]() I enjoyed sunrise a lot more as the sun peering through the trees felt more majestic (as shown in the picture above). Once during sunrise and once during sunset. Sol Duc Falls is located in Olympic National Park, and it is one of the best easy waterfall trails on this list! I have hiked to Sol Duc Falls twice.
