Oregon Coast/Coast Range

We saw a herd of elk! Amazing views.. will do this one again.

Awesome trail. I went yesterday. I didn’t like the 9 mile narrow winding road to get up here. If you hate roads like that or have claustrophobia this one isn’t for you. There are a lot of cars. You feel like your on a carnival ride playing bumper cars before you get to the trailhead but other than that I thought the trail was great. It was muddy in a few spots but it wasn’t bad. You walk down to a fork in the trail passing over a couple small foot bridges (one of them was caked in mud) by a creek and then you take the right path of the trail to walk down to a suspension bridge with an amazing waterfall pounding the rocks below. Beautiful sight too see. There is no water near the bathrooms so what you need you’ll have to pack in.

Should have checked the app first. Drove all the way there and barricades still up. Trail is still closed.

Beautiful day today. Some mud but nothing to hold me back. Weather was great. Way too many people not wearing masks!

Beautiful waterfall and suspension bridge. Not strenuous and just about 3 miles out and back. Make sure you go past the suspension bridge and follow the trail to the bottom of the falls. But it would be better to go on a weekday because honestly there were WAY too many people to make it truly enjoyable. Many people brought their dogs and unfortunately not all are well behaved with one of them jumping up at me and making me all muddy. It is very muddy so please wear good shoes. And parking might be a problem... cars were parked all down the road leading to the trailhead.

Great hike, but incredibly muddy (not surprising given its February). Wouldn’t recommend doing this without hiking boots.

Very very muddy!

Very muddy, be careful I slipped trying to climb down for a picture, lots of nonmaskers but absolutely gorgeous!

don’t forget to take the north loop. Best part of the trail.

Muddy, but totally worth it! There were a lot of people without masks on the trail.

Beautiful hike through forest to an amazing bridge and waterfall. Trail was easy to navigate and not too many folks Friday at noon

Closed. Marys peak as mentioned for alternative below is 3hrs away!

The trail was awesome! Very gradual climb + awesome views of the coast! I will say it was the MUDDIEST trail I have ever hiked, particularly the last .75 miles to the top. Would recommend wearing rain boots if possible.

Easy hike, beautiful and the bridge is amazing!

2/21/21: Beautiful hike, way more than what I was expecting. Not a challenge, so if you’re looking for a challenge, this may not be for you...but it’s short enough that you can do it before or following a difficult hike. I broke my ankle two months ago and am still in a boot and it was very doable. There were a couple spots to go off trail that I couldn’t do because it was too downhill, so I’ll definitely come back! We usually hike for distance and elevation, so being broken has been kinda nice for allowing us to find little gems like this.

great hike. beautiful waterfall.

Lots of mud and some down trees throughout. It’s a slow go this time of year but peaceful.

Pretty muddy throughout entire trail; however, increases significantly at the end. Views on a clear day are worth it though!

Trail is maintained super well. Parking lot was mostly empty when we arrived, and almost full when we finished. Only accessible from rt18 right now, but that road is in good condition (the fallen trees from the recent storm have all been cleared)

Trail is not closed. It is still accessible from 18 but not from 101. It’s amazing go do it.

Gorgeous but super muddy. A decent start and then you’re right into the puddles. I got amazing hiking boots that kept my feet dry, but they’re definitely a different color now! Would be so lovely in the summer.

Road closed due to landslide 2.5 miles below trailhead. No signage in place lower down the mountain to indicate trail was not accessible.
