Explorer Falls — Sunday, Oct. 22, 2017

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area
Crossing the creek to the Falls

My family did this hike earlier in the season, but wanted to do it again in the fall with the autumn colors. It's an easy gorgeous hike for the most part, however the first creek crossing required some navigation. Jumping from rock to rock and on some logs, my feet stayed dry, until we reached the falls. Glad I brought my hiking poles!  To really view the falls from the bottom required walking through the larger creek and up the right side to the base of the falls. Gorgeous view, albeit wet feet.
