Fallsview Canyon (Falls View) — Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

This 1.5 mile trail makes for a perfect hike to get out and stretch your legs. The Falls View campground road was closed, so we parked in front of the gate. We walked through the gate and made a left to follow the road back to the falls. There is a small trail that has a beautiful view of the falls from above that loops back to the campground. We did that one first before the 1.5 mile loop along the Big Quilcene River. The trail was beautiful and led you to another view of the falls and the crystal clear water that makes up the river. After soaking in those views the trail led us through a mossy and fern covered forest the rest of the way. I hiked the trail with my fiancé and our two friends and our two dogs. We saw two other dogs along the way and a family of four. It was a great day to be out in the woods!
