Where the Waterfalls Are
Belfair sits in or near the Olympic Peninsula and Puget Sound area of Washington. The Olympic Mountains receive some of the heaviest precipitation in the contiguous United States, and their rainforest valleys are threaded with mossy cascades. In Olympic National Park near Lake Crescent, Marymere Falls drops about 90 feet at the end of a short trail through old-growth forest, and Sol Duc Falls splits into several channels as the Sol Duc River plunges into a narrow slot. Jefferson and Mason counties include falls on the eastern side of the Olympics, facing Hood Canal. The San Juan Islands, Kitsap Peninsula and Pacific coast add a handful of small falls, usually at their best during the wet winter months. Read the Washington waterfall guide.
