1. Strawberry Bay Falls, Third Beach

There's nowhere better to kick off and end your trip than at a coastal waterfall. This horsetail cascade can be seen at the south end of Third Beach. It's a short walk along the sandy shore to reach the 100+ foot falls that plunge down cliffs to the rocks and the Pacific Ocean below.

2. Marymere Falls

Next, you can find this enchanting cascade right off Highway 101, south of Lake Crescent. The 90-foot waterfall can be easily accessed by way of a 1.8-mile hike through an old-growth forest.

3. Madison Creek Falls

Just west of Port Angeles, this horsetail-shaped waterfall drops about 50 feet near the Elwha River. Luckily, the trail out to the falls is short, paved, and wheelchair accessible, so everyone can enjoy its splendor.

4. Rocky Brook Falls

Rocky Brook Falls is one of the most spectacular waterfalls on the Olympic Peninsula, and also one of the easiest to access. It's only a short, 200-yard walk to reach the falls that veil down 229 feet over a huge rock wall. In the summer, Rocky Brook Falls is a popular swimming spot, too!

5. Murhut Falls

The trail out to this gem isn't far from Rocky Brook Falls. It's short and easy, and there's exotic beauty just waiting to be photographed at the end. This two-tiered waterfall drops about 130 feet down a mossy wall into a small pool lined with trees. Read more about this kid-friendly waterfall hike in Washington, and others.

6. Spoon Creek Falls

Perhaps the most underrated waterfall on the Olympic Peninsula is this hidden cascade, which drops over 70 feet in two tiers. The trail to Spoon Creek Falls is easy, mostly downhill, and less than a mile round-trip.

7. Merriman Falls

Before wrapping up your trip, this waterfall up the road from the Lake Quinault Lodge is too lovely to miss. Located along South Shore Road, Merriman Falls is the easiest to access in the whole Quinault area. The cascade drops about 40 feet down a short cliff into a pile of rocks covered in moss and ferns. From here, you can either loop back to check out more coastal beauty at Third Beach, or cut down on mileage and start heading home. Either way, there will be plenty of photos to take along the way.
