I did a little hiking over the weekend. The Boulder River Trail is between Arlington and Darrington and the trailhead is just a few miles off SR 530. The waterfall is only a little over a mile up the trail. The trail itself starts out on an old railroad grade. It's a popular hike and I met many families with kids and dogs.The river is visible periodically.
The trail is very well maintained.
After the waterfall are switchbacks and more views of the river.There is a noted old growth tree at the first switchback.
There was supposed to be another waterfall about a half mile past the first one. I hiked another 0.6 miles and didn't see it. I did see many of the boulders that give the river its name.
There were lots of wildflowers too.
