Growing up in Salem every summer we have and still do bike the several trails here. On thing to remember is to STAY ON THE TRAIL. I was biking alone once here and thought it would be fun to go off road on the edge of the river. After about 2 minutes of following this little hobo formed trail I hit a bump and dropped off a 6 foot cliff into the river bank. Lucky for me the river was low at the moment so I didn't fall into the water. But any way I love the area, and it brings back some great memories, like that one.

Good trail with epic, 360 views from the top. Hardest part of the hike is getting there. The last mile or so to the trailhead is over moderately rough, unpaved road. However, with time and a little diligence, a standard passenger car can make it (first time I did this, I drove up in my '94 honda civic).

Do note that at the top exists an operational fire lookout tower. It is active and the trail has been diverted more towards the north before the summit in order to deter hiker traffic from meandering into the firefighter property. Please respect their space. Also note that there are no bathrooms or water sources at the top. However, a new outhouse was recently built.

Per the forrest service, this year's snow melt is about 1 month ahead of the area's average. The trail was clear during this time in May.

Great hike, plenty of spots for off trail camping, great view of waterfalls. Be mindful while crossing along tunnel falls, I wouldn't recommend trying to pass people along the ledge sections.

If you're wanting a challenging trail, this wouldn't be the one to pick, but it has a beautiful grand finale at the end! The bridge is incredible and the waterfall was gorgeous. I would recommend to this hike to anyone, even people who have no hiking experience.

A couple of friends hiked this trail two weeks before, in April, and posted the pics on Facebook. The images were amazing panoramic views of wild sunflowers literally covering the hillside. My comment was that I wanted to go there for my birthday. My birthday was 2 weeks later and I worried that the flowers might be fading. They just as glorious and the day turned out to be 81 or so, very unusual for my annual celebration. I took so may photos, most of which were of yet another sunflower, after awhile my pictures are no longer worth looking at. Oh my goodnessakes though, the vistas and flowers on a beautiful warm, sunny, spring day were all so amazing!

We did the hike as a group of 4 all with various fitness levels, mine being one of the better. The trail was was adequately invigorating, but having read about it I had been to the gym earlier. The latter bit a bit steep, but overall it was short and quite manageable for many skill levels. There were 70+ year olds hiking it so fitness, age, ability, it is all relative.

Anyway, a new favorite hike. Stunning!

Fun trail if you don't mind walking up hill. After a mile or so the trail forks with two routes that loop around the mountain and meet up at the top. Make sure you take one route up then follow the other down so that you get to see the entire trail. Small grassy meadow at the top makes for a fun place to sit and snack before the decent. As an added bonus at the start of the trail take the right hand spur trail to a fun tunnel under the highway to a creek with a bridge.
