Particularly Special Place
Description
A quiet walk through an old-growth forest to the base of a gushing waterfall surrounded by wildflowers. The path is dirt and doesn't have much elevation gain.
Snowmelt, not Crater Lake, is the source of Plaikni Falls' water.
Short Hike: One mile, wheelchair/handicap accessible (~2 miles round trip).
Family Friendly: Easy, short trail to a powerful waterfall; kids will love it.
Gem Type: Waterfall

Spectacular waterfalls after an enjoyable mile hike. Green and lush at the falls. A highlight!

Snowy - Meant to be easy nature walk. Still covered in snow and downed logs, so you'd need to be comfy navigating. Recommend waiting.
