Trestle Creek Falls Trail 1403c — Attraction in Oregon

I would give this hike 5 stars, but when we were there 12/12/20 the conditions were very rough. The bathroom was abysmal, although they did have a note on the door indicating that they would not guarantee covid safe conditions...I would argue it wasn’t human safe. I am new to Oregon, having just moved here from Ohio so I can only speak to my expectations from the public and national parks back in Ohio.

It's a neat and secluded waterfall that doesn't see too much traffic. It was also easy to do with the family, including...

Truly unique falls. If you're only planning on going out to the Lower Falls take the Brice Creek trail down to the trailhead and it's an easy hike in. The Upper Falls is beyond gorgeous if you want much more of a challenge and have a...
