Wallace Falls

J and I have been going hiking lately. A weekend, get up early morning, and head out about an hour drive from Seattle (in any direction, really) to go be (not alone) in nature. This weekend I picked Wallace Falls which is up north and east a bit. It was one of those hikes that's like seriously crazy-talk awesome. Everything was beautiful, the trail was great and not too hard, and it was just like, "Um, yeah, this is good."  It starts out following a nice little rushing river, which is the only noise you can really hear.  Then it gets steeper and moves on to the waterfalls that have made it so popular.  There are really 9 waterfalls over a half mile of river but from the point of view of the hike, there are three major ones that are your destinations.
