A step back


I want to digress from serious topics and document a wonderful waterfall in the Cascade mountain range.

Otter Falls slides over a 300 foot granite ridge in the Taylor River drainage which is located in the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie recreation area. This area is one of the gems of Seattle - a wilderness area located 35 miles East of downtown. The trail gradually climbs over 4.5 miles towards the falls. The side-trial to the base of Otter Falls is not maintained and unmarked, but it's not difficult to find.

I opted to ride a mountain bike to the waterfall, which cuts down the time required for the trip. It's a fun ride, but the loose rock makes a some sections very technical. I strongly recommend a day trip to this area, wander out of the city and enjoy a peaceful day in the wilderness.
