Enchanted Valley
Washington
Much like the name suggests, this hike is like something
straight out of a storybook. You’ll pass along spindly bridges that
straddle the Quinault River – along which riverbanks are packed
with quartz crystals – and wind between enormous, moss-draped trees
while elk wander in the distance. Those who venture deep enough
will stumble upon the Enchanted Valley Chalet, an emergency shelter
for travellers caught in treacherous conditions and a fantastic
location from which to watch the moonlight reflecting off the
surrounding cliff walls.
