Marymere Falls

A trail in the Olympic National Forest.

Reviewed By LiveLoveTravelNow

A short hike through the woods and across a creek from the Storm King Ranger Station brings you to these wonderful falls. An early arrival ensures you small crowds and a time to view the falls without feeling rushed. The trail is mostly flat except for the final bit where stairs rise to the falls view platform. Photos are best taken from the viewing platform.

This is a really nice campground for both RV's and tent campers. The RV slots are large and most have a water view. The tent campground seemed to have some really nice secluded spots. Camp host was very friendly and the dump station and overall park was very clean and well taken care of.

Our whole family, husband, daughter and three grandchildren, walked on towing our small suitcases for a two night stay in Victoria. The Ferry was comfortable and loading and unloading was fast and efficient. We disembarked a block from our hotel.
