Willaby Creek Falls in Quinault, Washington, offers a short and somewhat easy trail that leads to impressive views of the waterfall. The hike begins from a paid parking area, where you take the trail to the left and follow it down under a bridge. Along the way, hikers may encounter a couple of downed trees that require climbing over, adding a slight challenge to the otherwise straightforward path. Despite these obstacles, the views of the falls are rewarding and easily visible even if you don't venture all the way to the bridge.
