The Fallsview Canyon trail is in good shape down to the creek. Shortly thereafter is one blowdown, then three more within a short distance. Pics are at the link below. You must still park at the locked gate. Turn left after the gate and follow the loop to the trail head. The upper view of the falls is to the right. The trail down into the canyon is to the left of the sign. There are not great view of the falls from here, but the woods and creek more than make up for it!
I was meeting a friend for lunch in Quilcene and stopped here on a whim, thinking the falls would be crazy with all the recent rain. They were, but I was so entranced by the mosses and ferns on the trail that I didn’t even do the whole loop and was almost late meeting my friend. I only went to the bench that overlooks the fern-laden woods down to the creek, then I turned around and retraced my steps through a wonderland of what all this rain gives us. Beautiful! Other than four blowdowns, all pretty easy to negotiate, the trail’s in great condition. Thank you, Mt. Rose Trail Crew!

The Mt. Rose Trail Crew cleared all these windfalls from the trail today,3-14-16.
One windfall's rootball took out a section of trail but it is passable.
