This classic hike is best known for being a good workout that rewards with a spectacular view of Portland.

The trail climbs uphill at an average trail grade of 10-15% for about half a mile before reaching the top of Coopey Falls, a 150-175 foot horsetail waterfall, where a footbridge crosses the creek. The trail then winds uphill with a series of switchbacks for 1.6 miles -- through an area scarred by an earlier fire in the 1990s -- before reaching the ridge crest. Use caution while hiking these switchbacks, and do not kick rocks on the trail, as this could trigger a landslide or injure hikers below. Please don't shortcut the switchbacks, as this damages native plants and leads to damaging erosion.

Turn left at a junction for a famous -- and fabulous -- view. Use extreme caution at the steep cliff edge, as there have been tragic accidents along this part of the trail.

Continue east 2 miles to Wahkeena Springs and Wahkeena Falls Trail #420
