What travelers are saying
- RosiSeattle, WA1,173 contributionsThere is something about the combo of mountains and water, so we specifically opted for a hike that involved waterfalls this time around. This park offers a few options - you can hike only to the lower falls (relatively easy), middle, or all the way up. The latter option offers some spectacular views of the valley and the mountains, as well as the falls. The last stretch is by no means an easy one - lots of roots and rocks on the trail, and it is a pretty steep incline. That said, you don't have to be an expert hiker to conquer it. I've included a few photos to show the trail condition in the lower part and closer to the top.
As of August, the falls are a bit dried up as it has been a hot summer. But still worth a visit - the sound of the waterfall accompanies you all the way up, and it is soothing, to say the least.
All in all, even during prime time on a late Saturday morning, it was not too crowded, and there were stretches where we were the only people on the trail.
Did not see much of wildlife, however, there have been sightings of a cougar recently. So general common sense and caution are advised.
Take plenty of water and snacks, the hike is ~4h total.
If you want to park at the trailhead, a Discover Pass is required. That said, this parking lot is small and fills up quickly. Instead, there is plenty of parking on the side of the road about 0.5 miles away.Written August 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The color of the water is unforgettable and the feeling at the lake is just beautiful! I would love to do this again if I ever make it back to the area!Written August 7, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GlobetrotterMikeFLPensacola, FL221 contributionsIt was a wonderful day horseback riding along the Skykomish River in Gold Bar, a small town in Snohomish County, Washington. Excellent weather, beautiful scenery, and the magnificence of seeing it from a horse.
Our horses, Buddy & Lulu, were well-behaved and easy to control. The guides, Conner & Nate were fantastic.Written May 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Scenic parts to class 3 parts with energetic fun and engaging guide Nate and Grant. We had a blast and will definitely come back for more.Written August 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
