4 miles of hiking • 750' elevation gain •
I was planning on doing Newton Creek for a shorter morning hike, but things were very mushy due to the nice weather up on Hood, which made things painfully slow. So I decided to make better use of my time and head down to a place I hadn't been before—Tamanawas Falls.
This is a nice little hike, and it's definitely worth doing in the snow. The pictures don't really do it justice. The snow was so hard packed, one could walk without snowshoes. The weather was great.
