Comet Falls (Finally!)
After a hike that was up, up, up but also full of waterfalls we reached the main falls, Comet Falls. Finally!
Comet Falls is over 300' high, the tallest waterfall in Washington. While the other falls we passed on the way up here felt very... Cascades-ish... Comet Falls is downright Yosemite-like.
The view above is from the point on the trail where we got the first good view of Comet Falls. It's zoomed in a bit, and you can see there's a fair bit of distance closer we can get. In fact you can see some people standing a lot closer on the hill in front of the bottom of the main tier. We'd go there next....
...But first, flowers! Always stop to smell the daisies. Well, not smell them, because allergies. 😂 But stop to appreciate the beauty in which we walk.
As we got a bit closer there was a nice log next to the trail to sit on for pictures. I swapped cameras with another couple who arrived just ahead of us to get this photo.
There's more to come... we can get a lot closer to the falls!
Update: Good news, bad news, good news as we get closer.
