A hike that is easy-difficult to depending on how further up you want to go. The views are breathtaking and the paths are well defined. Will be coming back again soon to do the whole loop. Would definitely suggest all to do the course, and no prior hiking trekking experience required if you have good endurance. Would recommend to carry sufficient water and trail mix for energy on the way.

Okay this was by far one of the coolest hikes I’ve done in a while! It was very moderate-hard. Lots of foot uphill downhill variation! The views were amazing wherever you were in the forest! Trail was well kept and easy to find! If you don’t think you need to stop at the scenic overlook of the valley, think again! It’s arguably better for the gram than the waterfalls! And if you get lazy half way through and decide you don’t want to hike to the top of the falls, the middle falls are just as good a view as the top of the falls:) happy hiking dears!

The conditions of the trail were very good, some of the areas were a little muddy but overall it was okay. Great hike, amazing view and perfect weather.

We decided to head outdoors for a winter waterfall hike. Weather wasn't ideal, so we back tracked from Bridal Veil to Wallace Falls State Park. Definitely the right call! Was a beautiful hike with lots of stopping points for photos. We brought our dogs, which was great for them. Certain parts of the trail can get crowded and I cannot even imagine how busy it would be during the summer with great weather, but a great option that close the Seattle on days that aren't ideal.

We had a lovely hike on Saturday afternoon. Arrived at 3:00 p.m., so the car park had a few lots available from people who had already left. We spent a total of 3 hours on the hike getting from the trailhead to the valley over a look and back. It is a beautiful hike, with the best views at the valley overlook. We did not manage to reach the upper falls. It was not too crowded and there were benches at intervals that were well spaced out. There were also campsite areas near the car park for those who wanted to stay overnight, which was $27 from May to September and $20 from September to May. Parking is $10 a day, though. If you have a valid Discovery Pass you did not need to pay, which we used. I was happy that we wore hiking boots because they provided ankle stability for the roots and rocks on the trail.
