Davis Creek is a classic canyon that always rates as one of the best in Washington. Its beauty is expressed in the deeply incised basalt gorge, abundant moss and ferns, and plentiful waterfalls. Not particularly long (short approach and exit), and not particularly difficult in low to moderate water levels (most pitches are bolted), this canyon is still quite technical, committing, and can be sporting / dangerous in high water. The canyon sports five mandatory rappels of high quality, and three noteworthy jumps in the range of 15-25ft, plus several more smaller ones. With a five minute approach and ten minute exit, this canyon has one of the lowest pay-to-play options anywhere.


Davis Creek is located within both private property and Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Lewis County, Washington. It forms the drainage basin on the south flank of Purcell Mountain, with Cockscomb Mountain and Prairie Mountain on the west, and Davis Mountain on the east.
