The
view above from Look Out Mt near Cascade River State Park has changed
since this picture was taken, and I'm curious as to how it looks now.
In the fall of 2009 a wind storm hit the area and trees were
falling everywhere. It was reported that it took about 2 hours just to
hike a mile due to all the downed trees. I have to laugh when I hear
the tourist complaining about all the uphill to get to the view. They
need to get into the real mountains. Most people just stop along the highway
and view the falls nearby. You have a choice of trails as there is one
on both sides of the river. The one on the west side has more up &
down, while the east side has more tree roots to watch out for. I had
to take a picture of the tree that the woodpeckers have worked over.
