Cascade Falls

1 Accessible Yet Scenic

Cascade Falls is an easy hike (about 0.25 miles one way), making it ideal for guests of all ages and fitness levels. Despite its short length, it delivers a dramatic payoff with a beautiful waterfall nestled in a lush forest setting.

2. Perfect for Families

It’s a great trail for families with kids — short, safe, and exciting. Little ones love spotting salamanders and splashing near the stream (supervised, of course).

3. Nature Photography Paradise

The trail winds through mossy woods and ends with a waterfall framed by giant ferns and old-growth trees — perfect for capturing Pacific Northwest vibes in photos.

4. Peaceful Escape

It’s far enough from the busier parts of Moran State Park to feel serene and secluded, but close enough to other main attractions like Cascade Lake and Mount Constitution for an easy day trip.

5. Picnic-Ready

There are nearby picnic spots and benches where guests can relax and enjoy lunch surrounded by nature — ideal for a slow, intentional travel experience.

6. No Special Gear Needed

Guests don’t need serious hiking boots or technical gear — just comfy shoes and a water bottle, making it great for spontaneous adventures.
