Olympic National Park and the Salmon Cascades

A Steelhead Trout Swim up the Falls in April

The National Park System website is one of the best place to find information on where and when to see leaping salmon and steelhead trout near us, that is, if you’d rather not see one leaping off your plate…

And while the walk to the falls is relaxing, serene, and beautiful, many locals consider the runs to be not only photo-worthy but fascinating as well as invigorating.

And if you like to fish, you may be tempted to throw in a line, or to take one home if it lands in your lap, but beware, you may have to answer to the authorities. So be sure to check the website first, and BE CAREFUL viewing the fish, those rocks are VERY slippery!
