- Denny Creek (wta.org)
This is a popular trail, thanks to its gentle, family friendly grade with amazing destinations. The natural water slide area at Denny Creek is a must visit for families! Keekwulee Falls offers a stunning viewpoint that is easily accessible. Snowshoe Falls maybe a bit elusive and more difficult to see from the trail, but is also a beautiful natural wonder.
- Denny Creek Trail 1014 (fs.usda.gov)
Start hiking in an old-growth forest, cross a bridge over Denny Creek, pass under the I-90 westbound bridge and enter the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. In a mile you’ll hike back across Denny Creek, but without a bridge. Be prepared to turn around here during high water from spring snowmelt. Later in the year large slabs of exposed bedrock next to Denny Creek make this a popular picnic site.
