After a misguided trip thanks to navigation, I arrived at the Lower Lewis Falls parking lot just after 1pm. The road in has a lot of portions that are extra narrow due to blow downs not being completely cleared off the road. I also saw two deer on the road, so going slowly is important. The lot was mostly empty and the falls were raging.
Due to the recent rains, the trails are very muddy and in many places covered with running water. At the first bridge between lower and middle falls, a tree has fallen onto the bridge and broken the side. There are more blow downs to scramble over/under/around along the entire trail. Between the middle and upper falls, a tree on the downhill side of the trail has fallen and taken out that section of trail in the process. Additional slides in that area are likely.
Very few people for a holiday weekend which was a nice surprise.
