Why You Should Go Now

Due to a house fire blocking the exit 34 trailhead we were encouraged to approach this hike from the Ollie State Park Homestead trailhead off of exit 38 (Take exit 38 and turn right at stop sign. Trailhead is through the gates on the right). Since everyone gave up on the trail because exit 34 was blocked we had the trail to ourselves for several hours..and on a sunny Sunday that is rare! On our way back it was like a human flood gate had opened and we felt like salmon swimming upstream.

As it turns out it was a very interesting way to approach the falls, more of a turn around the corner and BOOM instead of the gradual buildup.

From the trailhead, proceed up the sloping access trail to the left of the informational bulletin board where you eventually join up with the Iron Horse Trail. You won't be on the trial too long before the Twin Falls turn off appears on your right (North side) from there just follow the trail.

Not just a fire. From the photos and video posted by King 5 and the Seattle Times, it looks like this house fire was the scene of the double homicide last weekend. The manhunt continues for the husband who is a suspect in his wife and daughter's deaths. All along the I90 corridor notices have been posted at trailheads asking for information regarding knowledge of his whereabouts (or which trails he frequented). He was an avid hiker and the weapons from the house are missing. Be alert.
