Event comments

You can start at either of 2 trailheads in Cascade Locks. This hike may be done as a one way from either the Herman Creek Trailhead to the Bridge of the Gods Trail head or the reverse for 10k. Or as an alternative the hike may be done from either trail head to the Herman Creek Pinnacles and return. The trail from the Herman Creek Trailhead connects to the PCT but the distance counts toward the PCT Challenge. The route from the Bridge of the Gods Trailhead includes Dry Creek Falls.
