| Hike Summary: | Now, I would love to give this hike more stars than I did, but I can't! Since it is sooooo close to Portland, OR you best believe this hike has HEAVY traffic. So if you can put that aside, the waterfall is beautiful! You hike up so you can a few different views of the falls themselves. This is a really popular hike for families as well. If you have a group or people who want to enjoy the view without the hike that works but make sure they have a camera to get a cool picture of you on the bridge. Enjoy this hike but remember, it will be busy, busy, BUSY. |
