Seattle's Hidden Gem for Family Adventures 🌳💦
Our recent family hike to Cherry Creek Falls Trail (near Duvall, WA) proved to be the perfect weekend escape - especially for families with young children！Here's why this trail became our new favorite: 📍 Location & Access: Cherry Creek Falls Trail, Duvall, WA (Just 30 minutes from Redmond/East Seattle - surprisingly close for such a hidden gem！) 💫 Why This Trail Wins for Families: 👶 Toddler-Friendly Features: • 5-mile roundtrip (easy pace = no problem for little legs） • Shaded path keeps kids cool even on hot days • Minimal elevation gain = less whining！ • Our 2-year-old walked most of the way himself - huge confidence booster！ 🌲 Trail Highlights: ✅ Scenic forest canopy (like walking through a green tunnel） ✅ Abandoned car wreck at mile 1.5 (instant adventure story！) ✅ Gentle creek crossing perfect for tiny feet ✅ Waterfall finale with flat rocks for splashing 🚗 Parking & Logistics: • No formal parking lot - street parking only • Arrive before 9AM to secure a spot • Tip: Walk slightly downhill first to save energy for the uphill return！ 💦 Cherry Creek Falls Perks: • Shallow, safe water for paddling • Picnic-friendly spots along the creek • Perfect place for a post-hike snack break！ #SeattleFamilyHikes #CherryCreekFalls #ToddlerFriendlyTrails #WeekendAdventure #SeattleNature #ParentingWin #OutdoorFun #FamilyBonding #ForestBathing #KidApproved
