スノーミッシュ郡の滝・トップ7

The Boulder River trail is beautiful, with views of waterfalls cascading into the river from the steep banks opposite the trail. It is a relatively easy, popular trail off the Mountain Loop Highway, although you will likely have it to yourself for a quiet trail run mid-week. It starts as a wide, flat path, once an old railroad logging grade, and continues past the Boulder River Wilderness sign, where the river comes into view. You'll encounter a beautiful double unnamed waterfall and old-growth trees along the way with nice switchbacks. Although there are no mountain views, the forest scenery is still captivating.

Bridal Veil Falls is a beautiful waterfall that roars down a 100-foot rock face, sliding off of granite slabs and tumbling onto the rocks and Bridal Veil Creek down below. There are stairs running along the side that lead up to a small spectating spot. You may want a jacket on windy days as there is quite a lot of mist that can blow over.

Lake Isabel is a hidden gem. The trail is not maintained by any agency, so it may be a little difficult to follow in places, especially near the top, but the view of the lake is well worth it. There is a waterfall and campsite / picnic area just below the lake.
