This short hike takes you past two impressive waterfalls, but otherwise not much else worth noting. ;o)

Directions

From Portland, take Interstate 84 east to Bridal Veil exit 28, turn right on the Historic Columbia River Highway, and drive 2.8 miles to the Latourell Falls parking area. If you're coming from destinations east, take exit 35 and follow the old highway 10 miles to the parking area.

Clue

Travel clockwise around the loop. Stop at the second bridge you come to. The letterbox is hidden under a large log on the left side of the bridge just before you cross it.

Hike Length: 2.3 miles
Elevation Gain: 600 feet
