With nine falls in total, Wallace Falls is a popular destination for hikers of all experience levels in Washington. The surrounding area has great biking, fishing, swimming, and climbing, so there is definitely something for everyone here! You can easily shorten the 5.6 miles round trip by turning around at the Middle Falls. The best views are at this overlook anyway, with great views of the Skykomish River valley and all the way to the Olympic Peninsula on a clear day.
