It's a ridge that leads to a ski area. Seriously, you'd have to try pretty hard to get lost there.squidvicious wrote: ↑November 6th, 2019, 3:10 pmEeeeeh... This is not something I would encourage someone to just casually jump into, especially someone who knows nothing about the area. Getting lost would actually be quite easy if you aren't well prepared.adamschneider wrote: ↑November 6th, 2019, 10:41 amThere's no official trail, but it's really easy to find your way.East Coast Hiker wrote: ↑November 6th, 2019, 5:48 amBy chance, can you post the trail you mention. I got Mirror Lake and TDH, but lost at finding info on Ski Bowl. Thanks!

Re: Looking for a decent day hike
Just reread this. Surely you meant to say clockwise? The whole point of getting there early is to get out of the Multnomah Falls section--and have some peace to enjoy the falls on the Larch Mtn trail--before all the people show up.

Nope, I'd never do it clockwise; those paved switchbacks suck and have zero payoff. I'd much rather climb gradually up along Wahkeena Creek. I don't care about timing, and in my experience, "all the people" turn around at the overlook anyway; the falls on upper Multnomah Creek are usually sparsely attended.squidvicious wrote: ↑November 6th, 2019, 3:41 pmJust reread this.

(Besides, if I was looking for anything resembling solitude, I wouldn't be anywhere near there to begin with!)

Re: Looking for a decent day hike
Late reply, but thank you all for your assistance. It was a quick trip, but I was able to hit Multnomah Falls on Thursday, and it was pretty quiet once I got on the trail.
Also hit Zig Zag Canyon trail just because it was convenient with my timeline and interest in the lodge.
Thanks again - sure do love the PNW.
