Description
Lemmon's viewpoint is a paved, guard railed viewing area above Wahkeena Falls. This is one of the must-do hikes for newbies in the Gorge. The climb is steep in places, but it's worth the effort. Watch for bald eagles and passing low flying, vintage planes on sunny weekends.
Don't think that this is the only thing to see. Theres are several other places worth visiting here, including family friendly Fairy Falls and the abandoned trail to the Top of Wahkeena Falls.
