siouxon creek #2

date hiked: may 28, 2007
distance: 8.24 miles
highest elevation: 3400 feet
elevation gain: 700 feet
time: i forgot to write it down ;-)… maybe 4 hours?

every once in awhile, i manage to take a picture that captures a hike perfectly. siouxon creek is amazingly beautiful…almost other-wordly. at one point, i was sure i had found curious george’s house and the man with the yellow hat would be near by.

this was actually my third time trying to hike siouxon creek. the first time, i never found the trailhead. the second time, i found the upper part of the trail which i hiked a few weeks ago. this time i came back looking for the more popular trailhead. it doesn’t take long to figure out why siouxon creek is a populated trail. the trail is open to mountain bikers, hikers, and horse riders. the trail runs along the creek, never straying far from view. there are several trails to explore in the area. i was on my way to chinook falls, a 50-foot drop over a sheer cliff.

i fell asleep in the rocks at the base of the falls. it was such an awesome day. after some time, i explored some side trails…flitted about…searched for curious george…and headed back.
