We parked at the gated entrance to Fallsview CG and walked the short distance to the TH. To the right of the TH is a short loop trail which takes you to a view of the 100 ft falls across the canyon which tumbles into the Big Quilcene River below. The canyon trail loses 200 ft in .1 mile as it descends to the river. Here the trail begins to veer away from the river elevating gradually but always following the river through a lush green forest of maples lined with ferns and moss covered stumps. The river is beautiful with its many rapids and blue pools and its thundering sounds are ever present. At about 3/4 mile the trail veers left to ascend above the river to form a loop which ends at the trail.5 miles from the TH. This is a very pleasant 1.5 mile RT walk in the woods and doable with small children. 4 other groups including 2 small children were enjoying the beautiful day!
