Fallsview Canyon (Falls View) — Friday, Jan. 23, 2009

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

We had some set backs getting to the pennisula and opted for this due to time. We didn't expect much, but were wonderfully suprised! Camp Ground is closed so park at the gate & walk to the end of the loop. View of thin falls from loop to the right while the trail to the left heads down into the canyon. 500 ft down at start, the rest is fairly flat. Trail runs along Big Quilcene river. Great place for lunch near river. Wonderful short hike for kids 1.2m round trip. Trail in Great Condition. Snow still on trees. Strange ice formations coming out of downed branches. A little snow on trail still, but not bad. Had a great time.
