Driving Directions

NEW NOTICE: The Upper Siouxon Trailhead and the Siouxon Trail itself are currently closed due to damage from the 2022 Siouxon Fire. Please check the Gifford Pinchot Fire Management page for current information.

NOTICE: The Siouxon Trailhead and the final three miles of road to it are currently CLOSED because of damage from the 2020 Big Hollow Fire. Currently, you have to begin this hike at the Upper Siouxon Trailhead, which adds 5.8 miles round-trip to the outing. In addition, the bridge that crossed the ravine at Siouxon Creek has been out for several years, necessitating a ford near there if you want to reach the waterfalls; alternatively you can backtrack to the Siouxon at Wildcat Creek Crossing, which is another ford. Please check the Gifford Pinchot Fire Management page before you plan for a hike.
