Wallace Falls


Hiking up the mountain to Wallace Falls in Goldbar, WA, is such a beautiful and peaceful walk. The scenery starts out with a path you follow until you hit the entrance into the trees, leading you on a new adventure. As you enter the path, you get a full glimpse of trees everywhere, the river right beside you, water rushing and the nature that just brings out all its natural scenery. The sound of the rushing water from the river is quiet and relaxing that just puts your mind at ease. The trees are staggering tall as they tower above your head as you look above not being able to see the sky in some parts. The little creek slowly goes down the windy path as they inch towards the river bedding.

The birds fly around gracefully as they make lovely sounds talking to one another so softly that it puts a smile upon your face. You see little squirrels run about as they wander from tree to tree seeing who can find the first nut. Other than that, you don’t see much of any other wildlife roaming around. Throughout the hike, you see three huge, gorgeous waterfalls that just take your breath away. All three waterfalls view is just heartwarming and is such an exquisite sight to see because you’re standing right in front of the waterfall’s nice view watching the water tumble down. The white flowing water from the waterfalls just comes down with such force over the side of the rock ridge that it is kind of exciting to watch as the rushing water goes into the river below to travel to its next destination.

As the water gradually glistens your face and the mist blows from the falling waterfall, it reminds you of a light spring shower. The overall hike is magnificent but seeing the true beauty of what nature and its surroundings bring make it well worth the time taking that long hike up there and that journey back down.
