Come join a small group of herbal medicine hikers on this waterfall hike in the Gifford-Pinchot national forest. This is a full day excursion to an amazing spot that is a little further from Portland. We will go up into the magical land between Mt. Saint Helens and Mt. Adams - a land created by ancient volcanoes and full of cascading waterfalls! We may see orchids, mycotrophs, and other rare plants found only in deep and pristine old growth forest, as well as forest giants.
