There were people on the trail. We called ahead to make sure we would be able to get there and they assured us the roads were open, we made it in a Chevy Cruze just fine.

We did the portion of the trail starting from the lower falls camp ground to the upper falls viewing area (about 6 mi total with the reroute for the washout). Trail is partly rerouted between lower and middle falls, some bikers went the washed out way and took as long as we did going the long way, they said it was probably good we went around (had a 4 month golden retriever with us) and said they wished they had gone around as well. We stopped at middle falls for lunch. Some snow on trail between middle and lower falls, nothing to bad. 

A few trees down meant lifting pup over them and some difficult sections. Was overall not to bad and was a wonderful rainy hike. It was chilly but we planed for it. Beauitiful fall hike with the snow melt the falls were really going. 

Hello, Me and Goforth set out on an overnighter. We started about Crab creek and headed up stream. We sat at lower falls and i pictured the indians there harvesting salmon before the dams, before the current times, when they would ride down from indian heaven through chicken creek and come harvest the salmon and take back to dry and make pemican and other. We also stopped along the way at the bountiful falls all of them. We stopped for the night near platinum creek and pitched our outstanding array of boutique hammock gear and enjoyed the company or Mr. Bojangles the friendly mouse. Enjoy the video[s] and pics.

I attempted to submit this trip report entering a "new" trail but I received an error message both times so I am trying again using an existing nearby trial.

We hiked the Lewis River Trail from Curley Creek Falls to an overlook at about 7.6 miles.  We did not see any hikers until our turn around point when we ran in to a couple coming from the opposite direction (Lower Lewis River Falls).  After our turn around we passed a pair near Bolt Camp and then a family of four near the end of our hike.  The mountain bikers were more abundant, maybe 15.  Definitely need to be on the lookout on blind curves.

This was a nice relatively easy hike along the Lewis River.  There are several nice camp spots along the river only a few of which were taken by the time of our return trip around 1pm.

 We began our hiking day at the TH at the Lower Falls CG day use area. We viewed the Lower Falls. Here we watched a young man jump from the top of the falls into the river and another dive into the river doing a forward flip. Because we were hiking with friends who are not frequent hikers we then drove to the TH parking for the Quartz Creek TH rather than continue to the middle falls. From here we hiked to the viewpoint above the Upper Falls where we had lunch. From there we went down to the Upper Falls and then retraced our way back to the TH.
