Sun Mountain Stables

Reviewed By MebyC - Mauldin, United States

Horseback riding in the Cascades was on my list of wanna dos! My son, his wife, my husband and I had a private one hour guided trail ride. It was superb! I am the only experienced rider and they matched us really well to our horses. Our guide, Maddie, was excellent! It was beautiful, fun, and well done. I highly recommend them! Private rides are a little more expensive, but worth it!

Falls Creek Falls Trail Head

Reviewed By PattiS337

To find this hike, program Falls Creek Campground into your map app. The road in is in good shape other than a few pothole sections. Easily driven in a passenger car. The trailhead is just before the campground, on the opposite side of the street. Obvious once you see it but surprisingly easy to miss. You get to a beautiful view of the falls right at the start, from a short easy trail. The trail climbs steadily from there and affords numerous views of the various ramparts of the falls as you go. I'm not in the best of health, so we only made it about a mile in but it's beautiful the whole way and you can quit at any time depending on your fitness level. I'd recommend hiking poles because some sections are pretty steep, though the footing is good. We went in September and were surprised at the water volume for this time of year. Very pretty.
