A log bridge spans a little valley on the Boulder River Trail - a very popular hike during Spring Break - located near Arlington, WA. Hikers who have hiked this trail before come back to it for its views of the waterfalls crashing into the river and the picnic spot at the end of the trail. I love spring break.  I really need some time off school, and hiking, its the best way to spend time, junior Jake Burleigh said.

Stay-cation over Spring Break? Not boring anymore.

Do not waste time. Spend this break doing fun activities YOU like the most.
