Northwest Hiking

Although extreme distance hiking can be a great challenge to conquer and experience, not everyone has the motivation (or the stamina) to take on such rigorous conditions.  Sometimes, it’s nice to be able to take a short stroll and call it good for a day.  The Greenline #6 trail, located in Capitol Forest, WA, offers one such opportunity.  The trail from the Falls Creek campground to the Falls Creek Trailhead is a short hike that can be completed in under an hour, making it the perfect lazy walk for a crisp autumn day.

Length: Under 1.5 miles one way
Elevation +/-: Under 150 feet
Terrain:  Hardpack dirt single track
Environment: Primarily forests with diversity of age
Total hiking time:  1 hour, 45 minutes max

Directions:
From Tacoma, head south on I-5 and take the Littlerock exit.  Head West through Littlerock and at the T, turn right onto Waddel Creek Rd. SW.  Continue until you reach another T, and turn left onto Sherman Valley Rd.  Follow the signs to the C-Line roads.  Once on the main C-Line road, turn left onto C-6000.  At the Y, go right, and at then take the next right to the Falls Creek campground.  The trail is located to your left and once on it, turn left at the T to go the the Falls Creek Trailhead/day use area.

NOTE:  Non-motorized recreation on the Greenline trails, please!
