Description

Located on Stevens Canyon Road 12-miles (19 km) west of Ohanapecosh. From the bridge, gaze 180 feet (55 meters) below at water rushing through a narrow slot canyon carved by the Muddy Fork of the Cowlitz River.

On the Road: Drive west from the Ohanapecosh entrance station on Stevens Canyon Rd. for 12 miles.

Family Friendly: Drive up and look down! This magnificent viewpoint will inspire (or scare) even the grumpiest youngster.

Long stretch of narrow canyon of the Muddy Fork of the Cowlitz River. We explored around the canyon to best take it all in. The road goes right over.
