Spoon Creek Falls — Sunday, Feb. 20, 2022

Olympic Peninsula > Olympia
As far as your car can make it via NF23

Please note that the roads are impassable at a certain point on NF-23. You can get via car to the fork (see image). To your left(N) Satsop center has major fallen trees and is impassable and to your right(S) is where you normally would drive down to Spoon Creek Falls.

We were able to walk about a mile from the fork to Spoon Creek, you will need to traverse maybe 9-10 clusters of fallen trees. I would be careful in any sort of bad weather as it is clear there were many mud slides that occurred. There was a bit of snow on the road but it was manageable in normal shoes, some ice. We also noticed some tracks that appeared to be from a cougar/mountain lion. 

Spoon Creek was beautiful as always.

Yep - that looks like the hillside succumbed to water and gravity. Thank you for the report
