Flowing Wild (In Explore 06/18/2022)
Weeks Falls, Olallie State Park, Washington
One of the impacts of all of the rainfall we have had this Spring is that even in mid-June the rivers are running much higher than normal and waterfalls are roaring with powerful volume.
Weeks Falls, tucked away in a quiet section of Olallie State Park along the South Fork Snoqualmie River, often flows sedately for much of the year, demurely finding its way through the imposing rocks surrounding it.
After back to back atmospheric rivers dumped record June rainfall however, placidity ceded to unrestrained wildness as the falls surged with a powerful untamed energy. That energy was palpable as I stood beside it, feeling nature's force in the sound and the spray as the water defiantly pounded over and through its rocky confines
