オリンピック山脈周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

Definitely go in September close to Golden hour to see the rainbow over the falls at the right angle.

A quiet place in September

Marymere Falls is a waterfall near Lake Crescent inside Olympic National Park. It is reached via a 0.9-mile dirt trail that meanders through an old-growth forest of fir, cedar, hemlock, and alder trees. The trail includes two wooden bridges and leads to the 90.5-foot falls, fed by Falls Creek. The creek flows into the beautiful, milky blue waters of Barnes Creek, its color milky due to glacial flour.

A beautiful hiking trail in the Sol Duc Valley, with lush nature, rainforest and waterfalls. You should wear sturdy shoes and, depending on the season, be prepared for snow and ice. The waterfalls on the trail are worth a visit alone, very impressive and photogenic and not far from the parking lot (about 1.6 km). The paths up to then are well developed. If you want to go further, the path can get a little more difficult.

The trailhead is at the edge of the parking area. This trail is a stunning example of the Pacific Northwest landscape. Evergreen pines line the trail as it follows the river.

The trails around Sol Duc Falls are well-maintained and provide excellent viewing spots for this waterfall. Great stop for a break at the end of a run before you head back.

A short run through the rainforest of Olympic National Park leads you to this mystical spot. Here you can admire the waterfall before turning back or continuing on via Barnes Creek Trail.

Lake Quinault is located within the Quinault Rainforest, the only termperate rainforest in the Northern Hemisphere. The lake is great for fishing, but you need a permit from the Quinault Native American Tribe to fish.
