A 1.2 km mossy stroll to a 30-metre waterfall and a sandy beach with the Olympic Mountains thrown in.
Witty's Lagoon Regional Park (Metchosin Road lot), Metchosin
More infoSitting Lady Falls has the kind of résumé that makes other waterfalls feel underdressed: 30 metres of cascade along Bilston Creek, a delicate ribbon in summer, a full-throated roar after winter rain. Past her, the 1.2 km trail from the Metchosin Road lot opens onto a sandy beach where low tide reveals sandbars you can wade across with the Olympic Mountains beyond. Pack a blanket, time a low tide.
This is the gentle cousin to the big scrambles: a forgiving 1.2 km stroll through mossy woods alongside Bilston Creek to the 30 m Sitting Lady Falls, a delicate ribbon in summer, a roar after winter rain, then out onto a broad sandy beach with the Olympic Mountains floating on the horizon. Time it for a low, sunny tide to wade the exposed sandbars, pack a blanket, and budget about 2 hours. Out in Metchosin, 25 minutes from downtown.
