This is a magnificent hike that has a bit of everything. Lush forests, impressive waterfalls, plenty of ups and downs, you name it. Certainly a hike that I’ve done before but usually clockwise which means tackling the Multnomah trail to the top in the beginning. Since weather was not playing it very nicely we decided to do the loop counterclockwise. For the most part is equally good the only thing is that this way you get the whole paved Multnomah trail on your way down… no so nice for your knees towards the end of the hike. The advantage is that you get to see the waterfalls in reverse. First you visit triple falls and then, on the way down via Oneonta trail you get all the waterfalls as the plummet into an abyss that you only see a couple of paces after on the trail. With all the recent rain (and the fact that it was raining), there was a lot of water coming down. Waterfalls where roaring and the creek itself seemed like it was going to explode. In fact, we found a little section of trail that was completely washed out leaving no choice but to climb around a tree to continue on the other side. Great hike overall despite I wasn’t able to take many pictures
