Little Mashel Falls

Hiked up to Little Mashel Falls this morning to see how they looked with all the recent rain we've been having. About 5 miles round trip with 500 ft of elevation gain.

Decided to hike up via the Bud Blancher Trail in Eatonville. The first 1.4 miles are along a gravel travel that goes by some homes and a road.

 Shortly after crossing the second bridge, there is a sign marking the turn off to the Little Mashel Falls Trail.

Nice forest walk on the way to the falls

There was so much water and spray from the middle falls, I had a difficult time getting a photo. We were soaked from the spray here.

 There is another side trail leading to where Little Mashel River drops down into Middle Little Mashel Falls.

We were short on time today, so we decided to skip the trail leading to the upper falls.
