Itinerary description

The highlight of the hike is the creek and some of the small cascades on it, but the trail only briefly follow it. The spring wildflowers were an nice addition to the otherwise humdrum forest. The view point at the overlook is out toward the city of Salem, though its hard to ignore the clear cut now in place for the controversial pipeline.
