After a week of pineapple express rains, we headed out to see the two most accessible falls along Hood Canal. On the way to the Duckabush Road we went up the Dosewallips Road about 3 miles to where the road crosses Rocky Brook Falls. Parked across from the small hydro plant and did he 0.2 mile walk to the falls. They were roaring like a jet engine...pretty spectacular with the amount of water coming over the top.
Then on to Murhut. It can't be more than 2.5 miles or so from where the pavement ends at the Ranger's Hole trail parking area up to the Murhut parking area. Quite a few potholes but no problem if you are slow and careful. The sign says 0.8 miles and 1000 ft of elevation gain. The distance seems right, but there is no way there is that much elevation gain. Half that at the most would be reasonable. The falls were amazing today. Lots of folks there taking photos.
