Lewis River Upper Falls Traditional Cache

This is the Upper Lewis River Falls. It is difficult to find the trail down to the Upper Falls from Forest Road # 90. It is one and seven tenths miles from the Lower Falls. The trail starts just before you drive over the Quartz Creek Bridge

I backpacked along the Lewis River trail #31 with a group of Boy Scouts. This was the second time here, both with the Boy Scouts. In fact it was through Boy Scouts that I learned about this place. This was our last stop on a three day, two night, fifteen mile backpack trip. But you don’t have to go quite that far, you can park at the trailhead (NW Forest Pass required) and hike the short distance down to it. You can follow the trail down river and check out the Middle and Lower river falls. Although you can just about drive to the Lower river falls by turning at the Lower Falls Recreation Area. You’re looking for a small four latch camo painted container with a log only, but room for trackables and small trade items.
