Wahclella Falls
The trail where photos were taken is colored red.
This hike begins at the Wahclella Falls trail head
This hike has about the best bang for the buck!
In season this hike is very floral
The trail follows a service road along Tanner Creek for a short distance
When you leave the service road you will come to a bridge
The bridge crosses in front of a steep cascading creek
The trail then follows along the creek all the way to the falls
Looking back downstream toward Table Mtn in Washington State
Steps help as the trail gains elevation above the creek
You can go either way to complete this loop - I went left and returned right
Looking down on Tanner Creek and the bridge by which you will complete the loop
The trail continues
Looking down at Tanner Creek
A little bridge across a small draw
Nearing Wahclella Falls
And there it is in all its glory!
