Hen Wallow Falls


The trip to Hen Wallow Falls is a pleasant walk through hemlock and rhododendron forest. A signed side trail leads to the base of the falls by way of steep switchbacks. Hen Wallow Creek, only two feet wide at the top of the falls, fans out to 20 feet at the base. The waterfall is 90 feet high. If you look carefully in the water at the base of the falls, you can often find salamanders.

I highly recommend this one in the winter. It is so beautiful!

The hike is 4.5 miles round trip , with 964 feet elevation gain.
