Hike to Marymere Falls - Olympic National Park

The trail to Masrymare Falls is a great place if you like huge and stately trees like this one ...
... interesting you start the trail in a tunnel under highway 101...
... past one huge tree after another...
... waking on a very well groomed trail...
...past bracken...
...eerie roots above ground...
...boulders...
...tall big leafed plants with red berries...
...and even a hollow log in the shape of a "C."
The forest here is open enough to see around...
... making finding the giants easy...
and the water of the creek is very clear...
... with well built bridges ...
... and all three are unique ...
...like this single plank walkway (while Sharyn puts up with my stopping for pictures).
Finally after a steep but short section we arrived at the falls...
... that fall and spread like a veil...

...before falling into a small pool...
... I did a video you can see by clicking on the link below


It is a beautifully designed and maintained trail...
...they showcases the lush nature of the Olympic Peninsula ...
... a truly Emerald rain forest...
... that is both rugged and delicate...
...with oddities of mystery and food for imagination
