Lipsy Lake via Taylor River Trail(edit)

This is a great long hike without too much elevation gain. Almost takes longer to DRIVE to it than to actually hike it. The entrance road is Horrible. Capital H. We have a 4WD SUV, and it beat it up. Definitely one of the worst roads you'll encounter. Super dusty. Parking is tight, but we got lucky and parked right at the trailhead. Northwest Forest Pass required. Plenty of cool things to see. Turn left at the jean shorts (you'll know them when you see them) to go up and over to the "falls". Wasn't really running much when we were there, but it's a stunning little venue well worth the trip. After heading back down to the trail, we turned left and carried on for another mile to hit the 2nd falls...most people didn't do this part, but it's worth it. Big concrete bridge overhanging a larger falls area. Adds 2 miles round trip.

Piece of cake. easy walk. We parked at the junction of the Dingford Creek road and the other road which went to the left. Which was washed out. I think it was 12.5m round trip from there. Marten Creek/Falls. Up on to Big Creek Falls. Wanted to keep going on to Snoqualmie Lake. Turned around. Then went up and over to Lipsy Lake and Otter Falls. Otter Falls is the big slide you wish you could slide down. No bugs, no people.
