Dunanda Falls via Boundary Creek Trail

You'll start at the Bechler Ranger Station and take the Boundry Creek Trail. Depending on which camp site you reserve your hike will be anywhere from 5-9 miles. We camped at site 9A1 5 miles from the ranger station. Hiking to waterfall is 16+ miles round trip

Your feet will get wet on this hike, so Chacos or waterproof boots will be necessary, however in couple places the water crossings can get knee or thigh deep.

The hike is only about 300-400 feet of elevation from the trail head so feel free to pack that extra luxury item in your pack as you won't do much climbing. My pack was around 50lbs.

Bear spray is a must here, as the rout is only accessible in the fall due to a portion of the trail passing through a meadow that is actually a lake most months of the year.

Dunanda falls is pretty epic. By default the trail will take you up to the top of the falls, which is a few well worth seeing. Once you've had your fill, head back about .3 miles to 9A3 camp site marker and follow that trail to the base of the waterfall where you'll find a hand full of natural hot spring fed pools. 

All in all, its a pretty low key hike, easy to navigate and some jaw dropping scenery. This is a trip you'll be thinking about all through the winter.

Make sure to get your permits ahead of time.
