Overview
The Falls Creek Trail #152 runs from the Falls Creek Horse Camp to Falls Creek Falls and then down to the Falls Creek Falls Trailhead . It’s a long hike from the horse camp, but there are other trailheads to begin from and a number of trip options. Highlights that are worthy destinations in and of themselves include Falls Creek Cave , a series of ceiling collapses in a lava tube; another collapsed lava tube ; viewpoints from a lava rim to Mount Hood and Mount Saint Helens ; and a wetland where Falls and Black creeks come together. You could also hike just as far as a clifftop viewpoint near the lip of Falls Creek Falls . The route meanders through various ages of forest and crosses a few roads. Mountain bikers have built a new route that runs along a scenic lava rim that offers views to the south and west, but you can return along the old route for variety. If you are doing this as a backpack, the best place to camp is at the clifftop viewpoint .
