Gifford Pinchot National Forest Falls Creek Falls Hike Hike 61
Length: 3.4 Miles round trip Elevation Change: 600' Elevation gain Season: Spring thru Fall Difficulty: Moderate Permit: NW Forest Pass Required Features:
This excellent little hike begins
off Forest Road #057. The trail
is gentle and well used. You will
climb a bit at first and then in
about a half mile you will come to
a unique suspension bridge that
spans Falls Creek.
After crossing the creek, the trail
parallels the creek all the way to
the base of the lower falls. There
will be times you can see the creek
as you hike along, but most of the
time you are high enough above it
that you can only hear it. As you
near the end of the trail you will
break out onto a rocky cliff area
where you get great glimpses of the
upper falls.
When you reach the end of the trail
you will be at the base of Falls
Creek Falls. You can see the upper
falls, but not nearly as well as the
lower falls right in front of you.
