2007.03.18 - A visit to Olallie State Park
< Back to Currently
                 
Nestled on a nondescript back road coming out of Snoqualmie Pass (the roadway is actually the highway prior to when the current interstate was built.), Olallie State Park has an equally nondescript entrance... the sign to the park is largely obscured by trees - I only noticed it on the way out. 

  There are a limited number of trails in the park... they connect to other, longer trails that continue outside the park's boundaries.
 
The park doesn't have overnight camping, but there are day use areas scattered around the small park. 
In one area, the roadway is lined by old logs... that are as tall as a person! 
 
Part of the old roadway through the Pass, this bridge adds to the character of the small park. 
 
 
At the west end of the park, there is a viewing platform overlooking the Olallie River, and Weeks Falls, which really makes for a nice place to sit.

The logs are likely displaced trees from the windstorms this winter... they looked fairly recently fallen.

 
We're going to come back when we have time... this is one park we'd like to show to folks in our family, and spend a day up here, in the mountains.
