Abiqua Falls directions needs clarification

Post by c_enzaldo » June 20th, 2015, 10:03 pm

The directions to Abiqua Falls should be clarified that it can only be reached from the north side, and not from the gravel road approaching it from the south side. Unfortunately I used Google Maps initially, which defaulted to wrong directions. This was the experience of other visitors too, who ended up at the wrong gate wondering how Google's directions would get them to Abiqua Falls.

For this page (http://www.oregonhikers.org/field_guide ... Falls_Hike), I recommend the following addition, after the text "but it's worth it":

Click on the Trailhead link above for accurate directions. Note that Abiqua Falls is only accessible by driving southeast from Scotts Mills. The falls is not accessible from Grade Road SE, starting from Drake Crossing.

I added a note to the "driving directions" section of the trailhead's page.
