Grove of the Patriarchs Trail--1.5 mi. RT. Easy. Access: Just west of the Stevens Canyon Entrance on Stevens Canyon Rd.
This short, level, and incredibly popular trail follows the Ohanapecosh River before crossing over a bridge to an island of incredibly huge, thousand-year-old Douglas firs and western red cedars. Even though it's well traveled, it's still a pretty awe-inspiring place, if you can manage to find a little silence in which to meditate on the grandeur of the trees.
Silver Falls Trail--3 mi. RT. Easy. Access: Ohanapecosh Visitor Center.
This trail, a fairly level one, is popular with families. It winds its way through old-growth forests and over a bridge above the pristine waters of the Ohanapecosh River facing the falls that give the area its name. The misty falls themselves drop 75 feet. Across the bridge below the falls is the return trail to the Ohanapecosh Campground.
