Brittany, the intensive teacher for Landry Academy, is in town this week to do a chemistry intensive in Portland. We contacted her and discovered she was interested in seeing some of the sites in Washington. Naturally, we decided to take her, and her dog Marley, to hike the Lewis River Falls trail.
Although my pictures always look the same, it is just too gorgeous a sight not to take some more…
While the falls looked mostly the same, (a little more water than in the summer) the trail had changed quite a bit! We crossed the bright pink ribbon across the normal trail and found that the trail slid down the hill since September!
you can see the trail on the other side of the slide in the trees
the trail is now at the bottom of the cliff in the river…
But this meant all new scenery on the new trail… and new signs, and new bridges… very nice!
We bypassed the trail to Middle Falls and went on to Upper Falls first…
Upper Falls is the halfway point of the hike and a terrific place to rest and have a bite to eat at the base of the falls!
a lot of logs washed up on the beach over the winter

It started to get a bit late, so we headed back up river to Middle Falls…
I am so glad they improved this part of the trail! It used to be a nasty corner!
The views of the new section of trail are even prettier going back!
I’m already looking forward to going back and showing them off to someone new! And I hope to one day camp at the trailhead campground!!! (hint hint…)
