Tulip fields put Mount Vernon on postcards, and its waterfalls ask for two different kinds of trip. The ferry out of Anacortes reaches Orcas Island, where Cascade Falls waits a half mile from the road and Hidden Falls runs 2.5 miles in Moran State Park. Inland, the drop at the town of Granite Falls takes a half mile of walking, dogs welcome. Devon Falls climbs 239 feet of gain over seven tenths of a mile. Forty falls land within fifty miles.
