Olympic Peninsula Tour (Part 2)
Falls View Campground
After disembarking from the Seattle-Bremerton Ferry we drove
across the Hood Canal bridge, catching hwy 101 about fifteen miles north of
where we wanted to camp. The campground
at the end of the south-bound back tracking was well worth the miles.
Falls View Campground is excellent. It is a forest service campground so it has
fire rings, tables and vault toilets. No
hook-ups of course, but it is heavily forested and lives up to its name regarding
the view. The little loop trail from the
back of the campground overlooks a pretty waterfall, but the amazing spot is
down the half mile steep, steep descent to the river. I’ve seen many pretty river/waterfall/streams
with ferns spots in my day, but this one is in the top five for sure!
The only bummer is that steep climb back up. Of course I forgot my camera when we hiked
down and we were itching to get back on the road the next morning so we didn’t
make another trip down the trail. Sorry
about the lack of pictures, but if you ever find yourself just south of the Hood
Canal
