Twin Falls

We took a little drive east of Seattle today to go for a short hike. The weather decided to cooperate with us and only sprinkled on us a bit. The hike we did was recommended as a great waterfall hike close to Seattle, it's at Twin Falls State Park and has a very pretty series of waterfalls with nice trails and overlooks. It was rainy enough that we got to try out the rain cover on Breadyn's pack, so that was very exciting!



Here's a vew of the main fall.


Braedyn and Daddy posing for a shot at the overlook above the main falls. There is about a 100+ foot drop from this overlook into the pool below the falls.


From the overlook you hike up a short distance to the top of the main falls and there is this pretty little bridge over it and just under anoter set of falls. Unfortunately there isn't really any good place to get a good picture, at least for the ameature that I am.


With all the rain, things are so amazingly greeen here. All the moss is a new thing to us so we had to pose for a shot with the moss!


The guide book said that this hike was partially through some old growth forest. We saw a few trees that looked like they were pretty old, here's one of them.


Although it was a short hike, it still took long enough that we needed to stop and feed the kiddo...
