We had to park near the road as the entrance to the campground was closed, which was no biggie. It’s a short jaunt to the trail. The trail begins near the outhouses. This was our first time hiking this portion of the Clackamas River. It didn’t disappoint. It’s a very rich area. Lots of old growth firs and cedars. We saw a huge salamander, a beautiful lily, blooming rhododendrons and lots of other cool things. The hike follows the river and has beautiful views and soothing sounds. We didn’t see many people, but it was drizzly and not real warm, which may have kept some folks away. We started at Rainbow Campground and went to Riverside Campground. This was an out and back hike..
