Dry Creek Falls (Shuttle)

Activity Notes

The rain has started and it's time for shoulder season! Join AYM for a shuttle hike across one of the more scenic stretches of the Gorge, from the Herman Creek Trailhead to Cascade Locks. We'll leave a couple cars in Cascade Locks, then we'll all drive up to the nearby Herman Creek Trailhead. We'll follow the Herman Creek Trail uphill, cross Herman Creek on a bridge and then hike up to a junction with the Pacific Crest Trail. From there, we'll follow the PCT to Dry Creek Falls, and then downhill into Cascade Locks. Expect a beverage / warming stop in Cascade Locks before piling in cars to return to the Herman Creek Trailhead.

Hike: 7.3 miles, 1,600 feet elevation gain. Drive: 80 miles round-trip. Please bring adequate rain gear (no cotton!) and it's probably a good idea to also bring a change of clothes. Hikers without adequate protection against the elements will be turned away. Meet at Gateway Transit Center at 8AM. Leaders: Matt Reeder and Paul Kallmann.
