  • Join us at Panther Creek Falls, one of the most picturesque and intricate Washington waterfalls. In today’s video, I’ll share the highlights of the Panther Creek Falls hike and everything you need to know to visit this beautiful place yourself.
    If you enjoy this video, remember to give it a thumbs-up, and subscribe to our channel for more adventures in the Pacific Northwest.
    The Panther Creek Falls hike is really short (less than a mile), but the waterfall is so spectacular that it’s a must-see. To even out the drive, I’d recommend pairing it with the longer hike to nearby Falls Creek Falls. We did both hikes on the same day, and I'll cover Falls Creek Falls in an upcoming video.
    Panther Creek Falls is in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in southwest Washington. It’s a little under an hour and a half from Portland by car.
    There’s a lot of parking near the trailhead, and no fees or passes are needed. There aren’t restrooms, and there also isn’t much signage. I’d recommend downloading the map from AllTrails before you go so you’ll be able to find the start of the trail more easily. Here is the link: www.alltrails....
    The AllTrails route only goes to the upper waterfall viewpoint, but this video will show how to go to the lower viewpoint as well. I'd highly recommend visiting both! The perspective from the lower waterfall viewing platform is spectacular; it’s right at the level of the waterfall.
    Do take care with your footing, and stay on the path. People have died here by falling off the cliffs.

    Spectacular! I have done the Falls Creek Falls hike many times, and always wondered about this one. Thanks for the great coverage!

      Been to this fall a few times. It’s far off the beaten path enough not a lot of people go up here. Much better experience than trying to go to multnomah falls.

    I know you mean well, but you have an impact on these places and the people who live around them. You can still share their beauty without sharing names and locations.

      Thanks for your thoughts on this. I certainly don’t want to cause harm to these amazing places. I’ll think through how I can incorporate sharing ideas for positive impact into the videos in future. Initial thoughts are encouraging Leave No Trace practices, sharing info about volunteer opportunities where relevant (eg WTA, invasive species work parties for city parks), and sharing info about conservation NGOs.
