We hiked the Lewis River Trail from the Lower Falls to Middle Falls and then to the top of the Upper Falls a total of a little under 3 miles one-way. All falls were full and beautiful.The trail is in excellent condition with no blow-downs or wash-outs. We took a side trip to Copper Creek Falls. It's a 1/4 mile to the falls. The trail goes left from the main trail and the junction is signed. There was one blowdown which was easily passed.

The Lewis River trail from the Lower Falls Recreation Area past Lower, Middle and Upper Falls is open and easy to traverse. We continued past Upper Falls to a fourth set of falls which are equally beautiful and shouldn't be missed. We continued on the trail to the point where the Lewis River bends to the east and encountered no problems on the trail.

We did not hike this entire trail but did the portion between the lower and middle falls about 2 miles apart. Easy trail, open to bikes, with some steep drop offs to the river below. Especially notable is the campground located at the lower falls. Still operated by the forest service (not a vendor), it's especially pretty. The lower falls are paticularly impressive, see photo. About 50+ miles east of I-5 on the Lewis River Road. Gateway to the high country around Mt Adams.

I hiked from the trailhead at Curly Creek to the Bolt Camp Shelter. The trails is in not that bad of shape. There were a few down logs and brush weighted down by the snow. There was one slide just before the first bridge with lots of mud at that point. Also found patches of snow about one mile in from the trailhead. Road 90 is blocked by snow to low clearance vehicles but should be snow free in two weeks.

Went up to the horse camp and tried to follow the trails there , only could go so far with our horses. All the trails are in bad conditions. that is a real shame its such beautiful country up there . I hope someone will go in to maintain the trails so everyone can go horseback riding again. SassiLee
