Take This Easy Trail To An Amazing Triple Waterfall In Washington

Rocky Brook Falls near Hood Canal offers a brief, scenic nature walk to one of Washington's tallest waterfalls.

The hiking trails near the Hood Canal are highly underrated -- and some, like Rocky Brook Falls, hardly require any hiking at all. This three-tiered waterfall is one of Washington's tallest, and it's a spectacular sight.

The short trail to Rocky Brook Falls is located near Brinnon on the Olympic Peninsula's Hood Canal.

From Highway 101 N, turn left on the Dosewallips Road. Drive 3 miles west and park after crossing Rocky Brook Bridge.

At 0.3 miles in length, this is really more of a brief nature walk than a hike.

But sometimes, a little fresh air and the sound of a rushing stream are all you need.

Before you know it, you'll be at the base of this beauty.

The waterfall is part of a hydroelectric generation facility, and it almost always has a large flow.

This is one of the largest and most often visited waterfalls on the Hood Canal. In the summertime, the pool at the bottom can be used as a swimming hole.

However, if you go early on a spring morning, you might have it all to yourself.

There's nothing like relaxing by this tranquil waterfall on a warm day.

Pack a picnic and stay awhile. After all, this is more of an experience in nature than a strenuous hike.

If you're heading to the Olympic Peninsula this summer, this spot is a definite must-see.

Washington is a paradise for nature lovers.

There's nothing like a peaceful waterfall hike -- and Washington has plenty.
