Did a loop hike at Ancient Lakes near Quincy, WA. 7 miles with about 600 ft of overall elevation gain. Parked at the lower lot on the north end. Started along the trail on the east side. Waterfall coming down the coulee.
Large boulder along the trail near the waterfall.

View of the waterfalls at the south end of the coulee.
We hiked around the lake to get a closer look at the lower falls.
Hiked back to the trail and continued hiking along the lake shore, view looking back at the waterfalls.
