Hike a section of the round-the-mountain Wonderland Trail to a deep forested valley reverberating with crashing waterfalls. En route make an exciting crossing of the snow and ice fueled Nisqually River. Stare in disbelief of the snaking Nisqually Glacier above while frothy thundering water passes beneath your hiking shoes. And pass big old trees and remnants of the national park from its nascent days.
