Wallace Falls

A couple of miles north of Gold Bar (on the US 2) is Wallace Falls State Park. It's pretty popular, even on week days so get there early.

Hiking up to the falls themselves is largely upward (at least the lower sections) - I always prefer that to up and down since it means on the way back it's most downhill :)

Before you reach the falls themselves, you'll come across some 'min falls' and rapids.

Depending on how long you have, you can take in just the lower falls, or go right to the top, or even on to Wallace lake itself.

On a clear day, you can also see the mountains and maybe some wildlife.
