Nat Turner went hiking March 30, 2012 7.5 miles 2,250 feet gained
Standard day on the track. But do to all the recent rains, the Multnomah creek drainage was hustlin' Because Wakeena is spring fed, most of the creek was jus a little over normal, but I could hear the roar of Multnomah creek one ridge-line before dropping into the drainage. A little slip into the creek would be certain death at a few of the spots above the main falls. The water had an interesting turbidity due to plant/soil materials in the runoff.
And then a quick side trip along 400 over east to the elevator shaft. I had never tried to find the trail before. went up halfway on the lower talus field, saving the rest for a dry day. the mossy use path was pretty cool though. back to the car, no stopping for a coffee.
only 1/2 mile from the tourist stop, none passed by, I was there for 30 minutes. elevator shaft is now on my good weather gorge list.
