  • My favorite waterfall and waterfall hike in all the PacNW! The hike itself isn’t a tail kicker and it’s absolutely gorgeous along the way. As of 7-8-22 the trail is totally clear of snow all the way up to Comet Falls. 5/5 highly recommend! @nothin_but_views
  • One of the best hikes for me in WA. I’d rate it as challenging but worth it. Wear sturdy boots, bring hiking poles, and do it in late July through September on a sunny day. Try and make it just beyond the maintained trail and you’ll be rewarded with stunning beauty. Plan for 4-5 hours round trip.
