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.
