Washington Waterfall Hikes You Have To Try!

The PNW is incredibly beautiful. We often pinch ourselves that we get to live in such a nature-packed, magnificent state. That’s why our team at Theory can’t wait for the weather to warm up this spring and summer, so we can get out in nature and explore! Waterfalls are one of the staples you get to experience while hiking in Washington. The high annual precipitation paired with the volcanic mountains are two major factors that contribute to the abundance of them. So, in honor of one of our favorite features in Washington, here are a few of our favorite waterfall hikes! All of them are also easy and enjoyable for the whole family.

Olympic Peninsula

SOL DUC FALLS

Rigor: Easy!
Length: 1.6 miles, roundtrip
Gain: 200 feet
Elevation: 2,000 feet

Depending on water volume, Sol Duc Falls splits into as many as four channels as it cascades 48 feet into a narrow, rocky canyon. There are various viewpoints of this Washington waterfall on the hike, both upstream and down—as well as on the bridge that crosses the river.

*A National Park Pass is required for this hike.

South Cascades

LOWER FALLS CREEK

Rigor: Easy!
Length: 3.4 miles, roundtrip
Gain: 600 feet
Elevation: 1,500 feet

You’ll hike through a young forest and cross Falls Creek before arriving at a cable suspension bridge spanning a rocky gorge. This provides stunning waterfall views. Then, less than a mile further, you’ll arrive at the waterfall. Be aware the creek crossing portion of this waterfall hike can be tricky during early season melts in Washington.

*A Northwest Forest Pass is required for this hike.

 

Central Cascades

BRIDAL VEIL FALLS

Rigor: Easy!
Length: 4 miles, roundtrip
Gain: 1,000 feet
Elevation: 1,600 feet

A beautiful waterfall flows out of Lake Serene and cascades below the east wall of Mount Index. On this hike, you’ll climb flights of steps paralleling the falls and get to stand directly beside the 100-foot rock face. However, keep in mind this waterfall hike is very popular on summer weekends in Washington!

Mount Rainier

SILVER FALLS LOOP

Rigor: Easy!
Length: 3 miles, roundtrip
Gain: 600 feet
Elevation: 2,300 feet

This is a short and sweet waterfall hike in the southeast corner of Washington’s Mount Rainier National Park. You’ll hike through deep forest, climb gradually to an overlook of the Ohanapecosh River, and then switchback down to a bridge over the river, which offers impressive perspective on the waterfall and the river beneath you.

*A National Park Pass is required for this hike.

 

Eastern WA

PALOUSE FALLS

Rigor: Easy!
Length: 1 mile, roundtrip
Elevation: 803 feet

Do not miss Washington State’s official waterfall (does that make it Washington’s official waterfall hike too?). From the parking area, there is a nice overlook of the falls, so you do not necessarily need to hike anywhere. However, if you want to stretch your legs, there is a graveled path that winds for one-third of a mile around and through grassland and back to the parking area.

“I think that’s the easiest it’s ever been for me to buy or sell a home!”

Brad Rasmussen -

“

We had a distressed property in Tacoma that required a lot of repair before we could sell. The task soon became overwhelming and that’s when we contacted Theory Real Estate.  They purchased the property “as is”. Within 3 weeks,  we closed on the deal. The Theory team is amazing!!  Every person we came in contact with was friendly, professional and efficient.

We are new investors to this market. We met Isaac and Alan through a good friend, and we are so thankful to have met them. They are the nicest, caring, most professional, kind-hearted people we have met in a long time. We would recommend these guys to ANYONE.

Anthony & Sarah Wooden - Tacoma

We have bought 2 homes and sold 1 home with Theory. We would recommend them to all our friends.

We worked with Theory to find our perfect house, but ran into a couple obstacles with the seller. The Theory team was always there with answers and went above and beyond all of our expectations.
