Threat to Our Public Land!

Recent proposals could transfer or sell off national forests, BLM land, and wilderness areas. This threatens the trails, wildlife, and access we all love. Once they're gone, we don't get them back.

The push to sell off public lands is being driven mostly by Republicans. What's frustrating is that many who vote for this party still love hiking, hunting, and exploring. If you keep voting for politicians who promise to "cut red tape" and "shrink government," don't be surprised when your favorite trailhead is fenced off and leased to a mining company.

Foster Falls via Fiery Gizzard and Climber’s Loop GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

Foster Falls is the highlight of this area, an impressive 60-foot waterfall. An overlook of the falls is easily-access from a parking lot, and a trail leads down to the base. To extend the hike a bit, there's a popular loop that combines two trails past the falls. These include the Climbers Loop, which wraps beneath gorgeous cliffs popular for technical rock climbing, and the Fiery Gizzard Trail, which uses a small portion of this much longer point-to-point trail.
