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.

This is a beautiful area just a short drive from the highway to the parking area, and then a short paved and easy walk to the 100' falls. Along the way is a forest with some wonderful old cedar trees (some are up to 30 feet around.) The rushing Elwha River meanders to the sea. All combine to make some nice vacation photos. Good signage and a ranger on hand + restrooms.

Amazing example of dam removal and restoration of a wild river.

While it is true that you cannot simply drive up to this site as you could before the road wash outs, you can get there on foot. From the Madison Falls parking lot, walk along the road until you see the "by pass" trail sign. Follow this trail up into the woods and then back down to the road. Then, follow the road all the way to the site. I hiked this yesterday, and my GPS showed it to be 7.5 miles round trip. Along the way, you come across the now abandoned Elwha Ranger Station and other NP buildings, which feel a bit like a ghost town. The Elwha River area does not disappoint! -- waterfalls, a roaring river, old growth forests, and a very cool historic site at the top, which I had all to myself on a sunny Winter day. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to go again.
