- Keekwulee Falls (waterfallsnorthwest.com)
Denny Creek sports a number of waterfalls, some quite a bit more noteworthy and conspicuous than others. Keekwulee is the most significant of the bunch and is one of the prime attractions along the Melakwa Lakes Trail near Snoqualmie Pass.
- Snowshoe Falls is the largest waterfall along Denny Creek, but because it’s both difficult to access from below, and very hard to see from above, it doesn’t receive nearly the amount of attention that neighboring Keekwulee Falls does. Snowshoe Falls is tucked at the head of a narrow gorge, about ½ mile upstream from Keekwulee Falls, but because of the steepness of the canyon walls, it’s much more difficult to see the falls in entirety.

- Psilocybe semilanceata (Wikipedia)
Psilocybe semilanceata, commonly known as the liberty cap, is a species of fungus which produces the psychoactive compounds psilocybin, psilocin and baeocystin. It is both one of the most widely distributed psilocybin mushrooms in nature, and one of the most potent. The mushrooms have a distinctive conical to bell-shaped cap, up to 2.5 cm (1 in) in diameter, with a small nipple-like protrusion on the top. They are yellow to brown, covered with radial grooves when moist, and fade to a lighter color as they mature. Their stipes tend to be slender and long, and the same color or slightly lighter than the cap. The gill attachment to the stipe is adnexed (narrowly attached), and they are initially cream-colored before tinting purple to black as the spores mature. The spores are dark purplish-brown in mass, ellipsoid in shape, and measure 10.5–15 by 6.5–8.5 micrometres.
