Marymere Falls Hike - 07.31.2010

Distance : 1.5 miles round-trip.

Time : 1 hour total, even after stopping for 10 minutes for pictures at the top.

It's located on the Olympic Coast and starts at Lake Crescent. It's a really short hike compared to the ones I'm used to, but usually there isn't a waterfall at the end of my hikes so I enjoyed this one a lot.

It's relatively flat until you get to the river, and from there it's straight up to the viewpoint where this picture was taken.

This hike is NOT pet-friendly however, as someone in the parking lot told me that the rangers were ticketing people who tried to sneak dogs onto the trail. And you can't get close to the waterfall which is another downside.

But we did this hike before noon, came back and had lunch by the lake and still had plenty of time for other destinations before making it back to our camp site.
