| The
trail climbs up a rocky slope for two miles before reaching Perry
Creek Falls. Gorgeous view of waterfalls opens across the valley and
on the right side of the trail. Coming closer to Perry Creek Falls
the trail crosses three creeks that could be a challenge in higher
water. Near the falls the trail enters an old forest. Campsites are
right pass the waterfalls on the other side of the creek. Backcountry
toilet is across the falls on the right side of the trail. The trail
continues further through the meadows to Mt. Forgotten. From this
point only experienced mountain climbers should continue. |
