BACKPACKING TIPS

Looking for a low elevation BackPacking trip?

Try the Wahkena Falls to Ainsworth State Park. Just follow the #400 trail. Its about 4.5 miles.

Or add to the Scenic touch and follow the Wahkena falls trail to #420, then head east to

Larch Mt. trail. Then go north on the Larch Mt. trail to Multnomah Falls.

Then down the trail back to the 400 trail heading east. This little side

Trip will add about 3.5 miles and 1600 feet of elevation, but the views

From up there are Awesome!!
