Silver Falls — Attraction in Enumclaw

This area is in the national park and you do have to pay the minimum $30 fee to enter.

While everything online said this hike was less than a mile, I definitely don't think it was. We walked for quite a long time and had time constraints (we were the models at a photography retreat--see captions for photo credit! If the captions didn't save, the photographers in no particular order are: Picturesque by Mandie, Captured by Alyssa Jade, and Love Uncharted) so ended up stopping at a waterfall (I believe before Silver Falls) to take photos before we ran out of time.

Go early before social media wakes up and you're probably going to capture its...

While visiting Mount Rainer we decided to drive over and hike to Silver Falls. It was in June and the snow melt made the falls spectacular. It is well worth the 1.2 mile hike to visit. There are two ways to access the falls. And it’s easily accessible. A very short trail leads to it from SR 123. But the best way to experience this cascading spectacle on the Ohanapecosh River is by hiking to it on a loop from the Ohanapecosh Visitors Center. En route, you’ll pass the site of an old hot springs resort, some big old trees, an overhanging mossy ledge, and perhaps a...
