Simple, Accessible, Clean

If camping in July-August, blackberries abound! I picked enough berries to share with my crew. There is nothing better than perfectly ripe blackberries on a camping ⛺️ trip.

The hike to Wallace Falls (lower & upper) is moderate & enjoyable. The “wooded hike” meanders aling the Wallace River, which is said to have salmon & steelhead in August. The waterfalls are beautiful & well worth the hike. For the avid hiker & camper, two lakes are available for camping by permit a couple miles past the upper falls.

Night in the Wilderness (aka parking lot)

We arrived and only had hammocks to camp in and the two walk up sites did not provides trees to manage our hammocks. Therefore we parked in the parking lot near a tree and strung our hammocks from the tree to the car. It worked great! The bathrooms were nice and clean and it was beautiful and peaceful. I really like the campsites, next time I'll remember to bring a real tent.
