MURHUT FALLS TRAIL

Last night's full moon over the Hood Canal, with the water high and the moon's glow shimmering all the way across the canal, was a sight to behold! We saw the moon peeking between the trees and walked down to the beach to see it in all its glory! Beautiful!


Today, we did the .8 of a mile hike out to Murhut Falls, in the Duckabush Recreation Area. On the way, we checked out Collins Campground, which is slated to open this weekend. The campground was very nice, with most of the campsites right on the rushing river. But the waterfall was our real goal for the day, and it was well worth the short, steep trail. There's a lovely tree trunk bench to sit on while you listen to the crashing falls and watch the spray as the first cascade hits the top pool!
The Murcut waterfall drops about 125 feet - gorgeous!
These little falls were just downstream
