DRIF CREEK FALLS

10 mile drive up the windy, one lane road (newly paved: our tax dollars putting Oregon to work).

The1.4 mile long  trail passes through an almost 50 year old second-growth forest, a more recently replanted clear-cut, and a narrow band of old growth.
Beautiful, peaceful, easy hike to the bridge.

 Support towers at each end stand 29 feet tall; they're conected by 1-1/4" cable anchored in bedrock. Still, standing midspan on the 2-1/2 foot-wide walkway and looking down 100 feet to the creek with the roar of the falls in your ears can bring out a little fear of heights in anyone.

The waterfall is a 75-foot cataract tumbling down a sheer cliff before free-falling the last few feet into a pool
