This is an easy loop trail of 1.5 miles. Before hiking the loop go right on the Fallsview Loop Trail which gives you a view of the unnamed falls. The second viewpoint is the best as it shows the entire length of the falls. The loop trail descends 200 feet in 0.1 mile to the Big Quilcene River. The trail follows the Big Quilcene River through moss covered maples and a forest floor of ferns, mosses, and salal. In early summer rhododendrons blooming will add to the beauty of the area. The trail has been cleared of all down trees thanks to the Mt Rose Trail Crew! We returned to the TH the way we came rather than doing the loop so we could enjoy the river from a different perspective on our return. We saw a few fungi including some bird's nest fungi.
