Bring some if not all of the following on your day hike: your experience, a friend, lots of layers (synthetic or not) including backup rain gear and dry socks, sunscreen, water or purifier, food, flashlight or headlamp, map or GPS or compass, fresh batteries, smartphone backup battery/charger, first aid kit with an emergency blanket, lighters, knife, insect repellent, whistle—and a sense of humor.

ROUTE: Take the main signed Lewis River Trail 31 left of the restroom or any one of the trails past the restroom only 50-100 ft to a couple great official overlooks of Lower Lewis River Falls (43 ft high, up to 200 ft wide). These are one of the most dramatic falls right off the bat and look brilliant regardless of the water flow, just like most of the neighboring falls. You can walk right on the main trail a few feet and hike down one of the super-steep bushwhack paths closer to the river for other angles if you desire, but none are too great. Try the one opposite a short spur path to the right which leads toward a small waterfall off a nearby creek, if any.
