Wallace Falls Hike


On Sunday after the party and the other hike, Indira and I went for a hike at Wallace Falls State Park. It's a lovely hike and pretty close to Seattle. It starts off pretty flat for about a mile and then starts its upwards climb of 1200ft over the next 2 miles. Roundtrip was 6 miles and a time of 2.5 hours.

Stopping for a quick picture

And again so I can point at shit and look crazy

Lower falls (with upper falls in the background).


We continued our climb upwards with a few stops. The hike has stops at the Lower, Middle, & Upper Falls for viewing (and resting!)

Crazy pointing out stuff guy


I was pretty tired

We headed back down and apparently thought it would be a really fun idea to jog on the way down the trail. Thankfully no ankles were turned and no bumps or bruises either. We bounded our way down in about 45 minutes after climbing the 3 miles up in about 90 minutes and hanging out at the top for a little while.
