Overview
This rarely hiked loop takes you up to Spencer Butte via the Cussed Hollow Trail, which sees more dirt bike than hiker traffic. Still, the dirt bikes are few and far between, so you should not be overtly disturbed although the trail is quite rutted. When the trail reaches FR 93, you can admire the expanse of Spencer Meadow and then hike to the old lookout site on the top of Spencer Butte , which offers limited views. The suggested return is via the little-traveled Bluff Trail, where you will need to pay strict attention to keep to the scratch of a route. The last leg has you strolling above the limpid waters of the Lewis River to get a head-on view of Lower Lewis River Falls .
