Fallsview Canyon (Falls View) — Wednesday, May. 21, 2025

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal
Wild Ginger

If you need to stretch your legs while driving N along US-101 out of Olympia, this is worth about an hour and a half or so your time on your way to your Shangri-La further north.  The entrance to the campground on the left side of the highway, and the trailheads are at the far end of the campground.  There is a small PL at the trailheads, and a larger one near the entrance if needed.  There is a short, level, loop trail with great views of the waterfalls, and then there’s the steep-ish trail down to the Big Quilcene River.  The plant life here is so incredibly green!  I got my first ever picture of Wild Ginger IN BLOOM!

I use the app Seek by iNaturalist, it's not always correct but pic#3 it says is Evergreen Huckleberry (I could recognize it better by a different pic but that looks like it might be correct) and pic#4 it says Sweet Woofruff.
