Wallace Falls & Jay Lake |

On this episode ... we head out to Wallace Falls, Wallace Lake & Jay Lake just outside Gold Bar Wa. In the Central Cascades. We head in on the grade, take the woody trail to all 3 falls (lower, middle & upper). Then, make our way to Wallace Lake & Jay Lake. We made it a loop hike by taking the Greg Ball trail back & had the best time!!! Here’s what WTA (Washington Trails Association): “Despite the foot traffic Wallace Falls sees as one of Washington’s most popular attractions, those who get out early on the trailhead will be rewarded with a serene tranquility that few other hikes in the area can offer. And unlike many trails, which sacrifice peripheral scenery on the journey for the prospect of a grand summit view, the Woody Trail is consistently gorgeous as you wind your way along the Wallace River and approach the nine dazzling falls. The moderate elevation gain 1300 feet, most of which occurs on a series of switchbacks between the Middle and Upper Falls might give beginners cause to worry, but you can take comfort in the knowledge that there are still great views to be had at the more accessible Lower and Middle Falls stops. The Middle Falls overlook provides arguably the trail’s most impressive scenery with a panoramic view of the Skykomish River valley and the distant portrait of the Olympic Mountains trailing into the horizon. Greg Ball Section: “The Greg Ball Trail is a trail envisioned by and honoring one of the greatest trail advocates this state has ever had. Ball was a former board member and director of the WTA. In 1993 he launched the organization’s volunteer trail maintenance program which has since grown into the largest state-based program of its kind. In 2004 at the age of 60, tragically, Greg passed away after battling cancer. He designed this trail to Wallace Lake and it was finished in his memory by volunteers from WTA and through support from the Spring Trail Trust.
