In the Springtime take in 2 pretty falls on a short, easy trail in the Lewis River Region. Take the gravel Pepper Creek Rd from Lewis River Rd and you'll hit a trailhead at the bridge that crosses the Lewis River. You can take the trail or road from here up to Curly where there is plenty of parking and a vault toilet available. If you choose to park at the upper lot you'll have a very brief walk up a flat dirt trail to the viewing platform for Curly Falls. Curly is beautiful, with a natural rock formation crossing the falls at midpoint and making for a unique and lovely sight. You can walk just a few hundred feet further up the trail to another platform and check out Miller Falls as well. You'll take in both falls from a good distance, but right now with the heavy flows they are great. Both falls are apt to dry up in Summer, so plan accordingly. The area is beautiful and access to these falls is easy and short making it ideal for any ability level. If it's a clear day drive up Curly Creek Rd nearby to McClellan Overlook for direct and amazing views of Mount St. Helens. read more
