Dry Creek Falls

Looking for a hike last weekend on oregonhikers.org I decided on a 4.4 mile out and back to Dry Creek Falls in the Cascade Locks. The hike was very easy with a low incline and was a perfect choice for a rainy fall Saturday. The lush green colors are still here with a little addition of fall colors.

The trail is a part of PCT which I hope to complete one day in future!

The creek offered some spectacular colors.

The trail ended up with a nice waterfall however after seeing the creek leading up to it - the waterfall didn't seem as spectacular.

On our way back it started raining heavily which raised fog all over the forest.
