Thanks! This one is in the Gifford Pinchot, no trail

No trail ? How do you walk thru ? All these forests are THICK. You follow the stream ?

Yep, almost everything I’ve posted on here is “no trail.” It varies depending on the topography, but generally it goes like:
- Scour Google Earth or LiDAR for potential falls
- Check the USGS map for the road that gets you the closest & then figure out to get there from that point

Impressive. I mean really. Those streams are full of trees, boulders and steep walls. No easy walking. The bigger glacial rivers at least give you some shoreline and sandbars.
