Hike Silver Star Mountain

07/02/17

This is hands down one of my favorite hikes yet. I am already itching to go back. We could see all 5 mountains (Mt Saint Helens, Mt Adams, Mt Rainier, Mt Hood, Mt Jefferson), amazing wildflowers, and trees for miles. Since I don't have 4w drive, we parked on the side and hiked up the extra 2 miles to the trailhead. This part of the hike was rough as it was steep and without much view. With the added miles it was still worth it! We ended up doing 10 miles, (4 miles to and from our car and trail head), and 6 miles with the ed's trail loop.

Alsea Falls and Green Peak Falls

The trail to Green Peak Falls was a little difficult to find. 3 sets of hiking parties that I asked could not find it and turned around. Like the post says, at the fork turn right towards the Falls. There is a sign, but it doesn't say which direction to go. Follow the road down the hill and continue straight. Camp site 3 has a hiking trail towards the back. There is an old beat up sign on the ground that reads "Green Peak Falls Trail" but it is hard to read unless you are close. Follow that trail, turn right at the fork and follow to the Falls! Well worth it.
