Moulton Falls trail run

Anja and I have been regularly meeting on Sunday mornings to go for a trail run in Forest Park - 5-6 miles on the Leif Erikson, every week. The Leif is a fantastic trail with some gentle ups and downs, but we were starting to feel slightly bored. So on Sunday we drove (separately, because Covid) up to Moulton Falls in Washington to run 6 miles along the east fork of the Lewis River. The trail was graveled and wide and surrounded by moss-covered old trees; we could see the river far below us, rushing along with a high volume of water. 

After about 2.5 miles, we encountered a high bridge crossing the river. We looped down below it to take a locally very common photo of the gorgeous bridge, and then checked out Moulton Falls (unimpressive) and Yacolt Falls (much better) before retracing our steps back to the parking lot. It was a really fun outing together and I'm so glad we went.
