namesake

The Wallace River, with its headwaters in the snowy ridges of the Wild Sky Wilderness above the falls, takes its name from Skykomish Indigenous homesteaders Joe and Sarah Kwayaylsh (misspelled and mispronounced as “Wallace”), whose allotment homestead was located on the river below the falls.

Wallace Falls State Park (wta.org) Despite the foot traffic Wallace Falls sees as one of Washington’s most popular attractions, those who get out early on the trailhead will be rewarded with a serene tranquility that few other hikes in the area can offer. And unlike many trails, which sacrifice peripheral scenery on the journey for the prospect of a grand summit view, the Woody Trail is consistently gorgeous as you wind your way along the Wallace River and approach the nine dazzling falls.
