March 1, 2021Great hike! There is one spot on the way to McCord falls that has landslide damage but it is really not all that bad. Not too many people on a perfect day either!
February 28, 2021Muddy and super slippery and sketch in places but nothing your not able to maneuver carefully
February 27, 2021Amazing hike. Land slide on the way up to the upper falls but nothing you can't maneuver through.
February 6, 2021AMAZING FALLS! WOW! Makes you feel so so small!
January 18, 2021Drove 1.5hrs to find out it was closed due to landslides.
January 12, 2021First time on this trail - beautiful falls and cool views on the way to McCord Falls. It is short but with good elevation. we combined this with Wahclella Falla which is about 6 miles or so further south. Went on a Thuraday and was moderately busy.
January 10, 2021January 10, 2021Trail is definitely tight at times and a little muddy in places, but well maintained overall. The views are beautiful and both waterfalls are cool in their own right. The climbs were manageable.
January 9, 2021It was a great start ing hike for our family! There's a section heading down toward the falls that becomes a switchback. That area was quite muddy and narrow at times. The spray from the falls was intense and we got pretty wet. Maybe a better hike for a sunnier day. Definitely going back in the spring and summer!
January 9, 2021uphill there, downhill back, very narrow trail makes for a hard pass during covid. the falls were gorgeous
January 9, 2021January 8, 2021Absolutely stunning on this rainy day
January 8, 2021At the beginning it was so sad to see all the burned surrounding from the fires. We hiked the lower and upper falls and it was stunning. Awesome parking,no bathrooms service people were respectful of Covid but we only saw a few hikers.
January 7, 2021One of my favorite short hikes in the Gorge. Nice and Easy trek up the narrow path. Sad to see all the endless burnt trees. Everyone was very respectful with masks and the trail was super clean. The falls are beyond beautiful.
January 7, 2021Nice short hike, a little muddy but not too crowded
January 7, 2021Trail is in good condition, only muddy in a few spots. Parking lot was full on a Thursday morning by 10.
January 6, 2021January 6, 2021January 5, 2021Love
January 4, 2021January 3, 2021January 3, 2021Very much worth the hike! Narrow trail to pass back and forth in several places and about 80% of people wearing masks. Will definitely be back out there again!
January 3, 2021Fantastic hike! So glad it’s open again and with all the rains it made for a really powerful falls. Got totally soaked crossing the bridge at the lower falls. Definitely super muddy so bring good hiking boots and a good rain jacket and be prepared to get wet! Also please observe the leash laws and pick up after your pets
January 3, 2021January 2, 2021Great hike. Elowah was super strong. A bit muddy but overall an easy hike. Excited to have it back open.
January 2, 2021The view was 100% worth being soaking wet by the end. Even though it was raining, the trails were in good shape and not too slippery.
January 2, 2021Solid, even in the rain
January 2, 2021Only did Elowah today, wanted to cross the bridge this time. The falls were raging since it had just rained pretty hard.
January 1, 2021Finally open after 3 years ! The falls are really full . Trail is good , a little rough and narrow in spots . Such a beautiful hike .
