Meet at 145th P&R just north of 145th North and entered from 5th NE on the east side of I-5. Meeting time 7:15 am. Eastsiders can meet at the Bothell P&R just about 1/2 mile west of I-405 on 522 at 7:30 am. Please e-mail me if you do not intend to meet at the 145th P&R.
The Wallace Falls trail is a great place to see a variety of mosses and is blessed with very good views of a set of three waterfalls. Our pace will vary but will be moderate between a number of stops to observe mosses. The trail gains a fair amount of elevation and is fairly steep at times. I expect to make it to the top of the highest falls at a distance of 2 miles from the TH.
