Description
Awesome, moderate trail. This is a great trail for beginner backpackers or day hikers. Up and down terrain, hiking along cliff faces. Great views of waterfalls and a hike through a tunnel behind Tunnel Falls. Campsites begin about 2 miles in and end at 7 and 1/2 mile camp. You can hike about a mile south but it ends at a creek where the trail was washed out. Camping right along the river, plenty of water. Wear supportive shoes because its a very rocky trail with slippery wet spots.

Directions to Hike
84 East from Portland. Exit 41. Follow signs to trailhead.
