This unique hike is one of the many incredible experiences you can have in Oregon! It is located near Horsetail Falls which is another great hike to add on to this one if you would prefer a more lengthy outdoor excursion. You will definitely want to bring some water sandals and maybe an extra set of clothes for this adventure!

As soon as you reach the "trailhead" you will soon figure out that there isn't a designated trail for this hike. You will be required to climb over a log jam, tread through chest deep water (which can be quite cold at times), and hike through a narrow canyon over loose river rock and smooth pebbles covering the creek bed. Once you are in the gorge and see the moss and lichen covered rock towering above you, you'll feel as if you have gone to another world. There is something so surreal about walking through this mossy, green slot canyon adorned with ferns. It's like looking at a scene from a movie.

This hike is not for the faint of heart due to it being a bit challenging and strenuous. You won't be able to avoid getting wet during this hike and the water is typically fairly chilly!

It is also advised that you don't bring along small children unless you plan on carrying them. This would not be considered a family friendly hike.

NOTE: Depending on the time of year and your height, the water could be deeper or shallower than stated in the description.

TIP: To avoid the crowds, go sometime during the week rather than on the weekends. Going in the morning could also help you to avoid the rush of people who go later in the day when it gets warmer.
