Always on the lookout for a good day hike, I found this place: Wallace Falls State Park. It’s east of Everett, Washington just off of Highway 2. My youngest son and I went there and hiked the trail up the stream to the falls. Wallace Falls is 265 feet high in case it’s hard to judge from the picture.
Beautiful forest, cool on a hot day, not too hard of a hike (though the last short stretch to the top falls is steep). Lots to do in the park besides hiking: mountain biking, swimming, camping, etc. For more information:
