Review - Wallace Falls was absolutely stunning. We hiked to the Middle Falls, but there are stops at the small, lower, middle, and upper falls on the trail. The river area has lots of rocks to climb on, which makes it a great spot for swimming or wading in the summer. The trail gets pretty steep as you get closer to the falls, but the views make it totally worth it. There are plenty of nice places to take breaks, including a picnic shelter at the lower falls. We started around 10am and finished by 1, and it was getting really crowded by then (though that might’ve been because it was Father’s Day). It’s a beautiful hike, great to do with your dog, and definitely one I’d recommend.
