Alpine Falls

Alpine, WA June 28, 2011.

Today I visited Bob Kelly at the Skykomish Historical Society and we discussed the Alpine photo history CD. In the afternoon I went to Alpine Falls looking for a trail shown on this 1936 map:

Map is from Historic Map Works.

No sign of the trail after a couple of hours of brush whacking. Headed back to the truck, parked at the site of the historic Alpine Falls House of Souvenier. The house is gone, but not the outhouse. It's just a short but dangerous walk away across Highway 2.

Here is a video of Alpine Falls.

Keesha was pretty tired so we headed back down to the lowlands.
