Yosemite National Park , a natural beauty carved by glaciers and waterfalls was delegated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984. I have been to this captivating place many times to see the ethereal sight of the waterfall and an undisturbed meadows surrounded. Yosemite National Park is 160 miles from San Jose and around 170 miles from San Francisco.  It is a beautiful place to explore and I would never risk going to Yosemite during holidays or long weekends because of the place getting crowded with so many people hiking or running around everywhere and would definitely miss the scenic beauty of the falls. Below are "Some" of the attractions in this park for visitors to visit -  Glacier Point (a viewpoint)  Tunnel View (a picturesque viewpoint on State Route 41)  Half Dome (a granite dome at the east end of Yosemite Valley)  El Capitan (a vertical rock formation at the north side of Yosemite Valley)  Bridalveil Fall (a 617 ft. waterfall with Ostrand

Gorge Creek Falls Trail is a 1/2 mile loop trail located near Rockport along the North Cascades Highway 20 to pull off to take rest, stretch your legs and give kids/adults a restroom break. This place features the view of a beautiful waterfall once you reach the end of the trail by walking thru the mystical path of giant trees with overlook of the river and information plaques. It was surreal. It took us may be a quick 20 mins stop @ this trail for small walk, enjoying the majestic views of mountains/river and bird watching.  Ps: Definitely no entrance fee to this trail. Ample parking available. The waterfall was not that big compared to Multnomah Falls  - Oregon ( https://sk-digilance.blogspot.com/2021/06/multnomah-falls-oregon-usa.html )  or Yosemite Falls  - California ( Will upload the link soon ), but still worth a visit!  When I visited North Cascades ( https://sk-digilance.blogspot.com/2021/08/north-cascades-nation

Wallace Falls  is one of the most popular attraction with 4,700 acre park and an excellent hike location for both novice and experienced hikers in Snohomish County, Washington. This place is farther from Seattle but it was worth the drive.🌄 A  discover pass  is required for visitors to visit this State Park or you can purchase one at the trail-head near parking lot. Now, some might ask what's a  discovery pass  ? Washington State Legislature created the Discover Pass in 2011 to get access to millions of acres of state recreation lands in Washington including state parks, campgrounds, picnic areas, recreation trails, natural & wildlife areas. https://www.discoverpass.wa.gov/ Annual pass is $30 and Day pass is $10 . I would suggest for people who are staying in Washington State to get Annual pass.  https://www.discoverpass.wa.gov/133/Where-to-Buy Frankly speaking I enjoyed the  Wallace trails , which was well maintained

This is one of the most beautiful fall I ever been apart from Yosemite Falls @ Yosemite National Park in California ( https://sk-digilance.blogspot.com/2021/09/yosemite-national-park-california-usa.html ) . I am really glad I went to this place few years before this pandemic started.🙃 Multnomah Falls @ Columbia River Gorge is beautiful and majestic. It's worth a trip to see this breathtaking place and the road towards the falls is so relaxing and scenic. 🏞 You can also see Columbia River other side of the fall. I would highly recommend this waterfall as a MUST see place while you are in or visit Oregon. This waterfall is accessible from Columbia River Highway and Interstate 84. I am giving this place a 5 Star , ask me Why?🤓 Because, it's close to other trails/waterfalls if you ever plan on being more adventurous. You can feel a sense of awe and longing along these wonderful trails and glorious scenes. Like something out of Tw
