Union Creek — Thursday, Jun. 10, 2021

Mount Rainier Area > Chinook Pass - Hwy 410

Was going to do Yakima Peak but it was in deep snow and socked in fog and I did not have my ice axe with me, so now what do I do?  I just jumped off of the road back to Yakima every time I saw a trailhead.  I did not continue after the falls since I had not researched this hike but the falls are well worth stopping to visit.  If you are in the area for some other reason and have an extra 45 minutes (at most) go on this hike.   Be sure to go right up the hill after the log bridge.  There is a trail that follows the creek but it does not have access to see the falls, and to get back on the trail requires either back tracking or (naughty) cutting up the hill to the other trail.

Did you find this trip report helpful?
