Another day, another hike! There are so many beautiful places to explore along the coastal region it's hard to decided. After hiking to Harts Cove the other day, we decided to find a hike that wasn't all up or down and The Drift Creek Falls hike fit the bill. The trail is mellow, mostly in the shade, and buffed out...no slippery places or roots and rocks to trip over. The hike itself is only about three miles round trip. It is also located in Suislaw National Forest.
Drift Creek Falls:
There is a 240 foot suspension bridge which spans 100 feet above the creek.
I hike down to the bottom along the creek, while Joel enjoyed the view from the bridge. He didn't want to walk down to the bottom because, you guessed it, he doesn't do hills. If you look very closely, that's Joel in the middle on the bridge.
The trail is very lush, with lots of huge ferns.
One last view of the falls:
Another great day on the coast and another beautiful sunset from our site.
