The trailhead is at Forest Rte 40N26. If you go to the driving "Directions" on the AllTrails link I provided in the video description, it will take you directly to the trailhead.
Actually Diamond Falls isn’t in the Wilderness Area yet. About a quarter mile upstream is the railroad and the Wilderness starts about 300 yards above the tracks. There are several more waterfalls within the next three miles up the trail. I’ve been going up there since 1962 when I was 13.
I see. I get each videos information from AllTrails. What else would you recommend in Oregon that I might be able to check out next time I road trip through Oregon. Trail of Ten Falls is still on my list to go to.
Headed to this area in September, this looks like a must do, thanks for sharing! Did you hit the slots at the beginning of the hike or towards the end? I'll be with a friend who might not be able to do the whole hike, but really wants to experience slots. Thanks!
You're welcome! The trail starts in a little bit of sandy area then you'll reach this intersection where you can go left or right. Whichever way you decide to go will lead to a slot near the beginning. I went left first and came out from the right. Both are unique; the right side is more tight to squeeze through (the slots near end of video).
One of those one of kind walking rest area grounds made as a pathway to go walking around by those trees and tall ones and more tall ones and another tall ones and then the "Biggest or tallest tree of Sequoia" or the top three biggest trees in the woods or of any trees that still standing or that had falling or got burned by the lightning occuring to the mountain tops of it's ways going low.
You can enjoy your visit stay and the people or like your neighbors or go pick up some food to buy at a few sites only then what you have to eat. And stop to one or more locations .
Been by the area or not of the video time 4:47 but if it's by the outside amphitheatre sitting area then been there to the similar kind of or of the narrow walkway from the top grounds by the the road etc and to the lower grounds and around by the little higher grounds sides and and around to a lower ground that leads to some more trees of the lower ground and "........".
Easy to stay on track for the most part. Near the beginning after you take a left, you should see a sign that lets you go left or right (take another left to start the loop) Then at 2:58, take the left route which will take you back to parking lot.
Also if you haven't been to Chiricahua National Monument; it's worth the drive from Tucson! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EwHjPu2PLpw.html
Hi Ed, a friend and I will be visiting Mesa Verde on 2/13 with my camper van . How’s the road condition? I don’t have a 4WD so I need to know if the roads are ok . Thanks ! Your hike is beautiful!
The roads were perfectly fine when I went (Tesla Model Y). Since you're going 1 month later, it's somewhat important to pay attention to the weather as well. There's just a lot of different factors; when it last snowed, how many days of nonstop snowing, etc. National Parks will plow the roads and if conditions are terrible, they might close the roads or require chains. Thank you! Have a good one at Mesa Verde NP!
Am going bicycle touring next year and will take that road because the McKenzie Pass does not open until the third Monday in June. Roughly, if biking and walking the trail, what percentage of trail would you have to walk/push bike if you did it early on a weekday morning?
That sucks. There will always be unprepared hikers or risk takers on every trail. Speaking of that, there were youngsters jumping from the cliff into the pool. 🤦♂️
Utah definitely has beautiful hikes. Though a lot are currently inaccessible or inconvenient due to charging situations. Will be back in Utah for more hikes when more superchargers are finished building!
@@HikingWithED the whole Mackenzie River side was close wanted to do Brice Creek but no luck, the only places that were open “that I was able to find” were Crater late, Umpqua Hot Springs and Toketee Falls
