Best Walking Trails Near Maple Falls
“The trail was stunning, very simple and easy trail. However, it feels like you’re in a different country. I am also partial to the trail because my now fiancé proposed on the bridge. Obviously, I recommend but definitely easy for a family or just a simple hike. The drive was easy, paved, and well maintained.
