It's a small dirt road and you can't be afraid of heights (or just don't look down) but the 4-5 mile drive to the top is worth it! Just don't do it right after washing the car... On a clear day even Mt. St. Helens is visible!! Don't forget binoculars and cameras! Bring your dogs! More

We drove through the ONF for two days. There are several champion trees throughout the forest, including a sitka spruce. Many, many things to be amazed by in the park. More

It was a very doable falls for everyone- even the 8 year old. Fun bridges and a gorgeous falls at the end of... More
