Yacolt Falls Waterfall in Amboy, Washington

Yacolt Falls in Washington offers a wonderfully peaceful experience with its beautiful scenery and relatively easy access. Visitors can enjoy a lovely hike starting from Moulton Falls, although the trail could use some maintenance due to streams crossing it and fallen trees. The falls are especially impressive around Thanksgiving when the water flow is abundant, and there are several picnic tables available, albeit some in need of repair, for a relaxing lunch with a view. The area is suitable for all ages, with trails perfect for exploring plants and flowers, and the creek provides opportunities for rock hunting and observing crawfish.
