First time here, and it was an absolutely lovely hike with a toddler. We only made it up to the viewpoint bench before we had to turn around (he's only 22 months and had to be carried up the final switchbacks to the viewpoint). Trail conditions were perfect up until then. There are two different trails you can take to the falls--use the ones on the WTA site!
Thanks to NB, who posted a trip report on April 16 and included a list of wildflowers in bloom. I don't know any of my wildflowers, but using NB's list, I read up on all of them--and found them all on the hike today. Here's what you'll see, complete with links. Print out and bring with as a lovely way to start learning your local flowers:
Nuttall's Toothwort: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardamine_nuttallii
Trillium: http://green.kingcounty.gov[…];PlantID=80&PhotoID=124
