For lack of anything else to do today, I elected to visit the nearest waterfall. The weather wasn’t ideal, but it wasn’t terrible either so I headed west on highway 101 from Sequim, past Port Angeles, to the Madison Falls trailhead. It was an easy drive, and very easy to find. I used Google maps on my phone but I think the printed directions from the website would have sufficed. The last part of the drive was alongside the Elwha River. It looked like it could be a fun paddle, but definitely after it warms up. The rapids looked to be about Class 2.

The entrance to the trail was clearly marked at the trailhead parking lot and they even had a restroom. The walk up to the falls was literally 2 minutes on a paved trail which was wide enough for wheelchairs. There was 1 bench at the midway point and another at the end. That old tree stump was 9 feet across, the living trees were huge and I can’t remember seeing that much moss on trees before. Enjoy the pix. Even on a dreary, drizzly day, it was a great short hike.
