Hike and Swim at the Middle Creek Slide

06/20/22

Took two of us about 2 hours to reach this spot at a casual pace starting from the road. There is only a trail for about a 1/8 mile then you have to hike either along side the creek bed or through it. There is no easy option. Definitely not impossible to hike it, but it’s not a walk in the park. You will be scrambling over boulders in the creek bed. The slide is located about halfway from the road up to Rainbow Lake and below Rainbow Falls. There was very low water flow on the day we went. We were ultimately disappointed after a tough hike to find no water flowing over the slide. It was entirely dry. I would not recommend this hike to enjoy the slide unless the creek appears more like a river than a small stream.
