Cypress Falls - Get out and hike your local trails!

My fiance, little brother and I decided on a Sunday afternoon to head out on a hike. I'd heard that there were waterfalls on Cypress Mountain but had never seen them so we decided that that would be our destination. It was a fairly easy hike among salmon berries, thimble berries, wild columbine, daisies, Douglas Fir, Sitka Spruce, and other wildflowers I'd never seen. I would definitely both recommend this hike and do it again.
