    When researching hiking trails to add to our vacation itinerary, I chose Hamilton Mountain Trail…read morebecause of the waterfalls..Pool of The Winds, Hardy Falls, & Rodney Falls and also, because it was located across the way from Beacon Rock. It was perfect weather for our hike on September 3, 2021 & it took my hubby & I almost 2 hours to hike up to the Pool of The Winds waterfall & back down. We did make multiple stops along the trail to take pictures/videos & to catch our breath. :)) While, I don't consider myself an avid hiker, I do consider myself in pretty good shape BUT I did NOT feel in good shape a few times during our hike up Hamilton Mountain! Going straight up that mountain is no joke! No worries though, I pulled through & made my way up that mountain & back down w/out any assistance...barely! :)) There are a few spots where the climb is very steep & slippery so be mindful of your steps. For sure having actual hiking boots would have served me better than the running shoes, I had on. Okay, so enough of my "out of shape" info..let's move on to the awesomeness of Hamilton Mountain Trail. As you are climbing up the trail, you're surrounded by huge trees & everything around you is so still & just peaceful. There is a small bench for sitting along the way & if you keep going pass that, you eventually come to an open clearing and the waterfalls. The waterfalls themselves are just so awesome! Mother Nature really is displaying her best work when you're standing right next to a waterfall! The Pool of The Winds waterfall was my favorite & there's a bridge right beneath it that is the perfect picture backdrop. I also wanted to add that it wasn't crowded at all during our visit & we did go on a Saturday around 2:30pm. Lastly, there was plenty of parking & a restroom at the beginning of the trail head. Hope this info helps! ~Rebecca out

    We hiked Beacon Rock the day before, and this trail is right across the street. In fact, you can…read moreget a good view of Beacon Rock through the trees from the Upper Parking Lot. The hike to Rodney Falls and Pool of the Winds seemed do-able, and we had a short amount of time, so we thought we could knock it out. As we started out, we learned that it had a pretty steep incline, and was a bit of a butt burner on the way up. I'm not an avid hiker, so let's just say I had a bit of a rough time (gasp) with lots of stops for photos (read: to catch my breathe). There are tons of trees for shade, with a few sun spots here and there. Just as I thought I couldn't hike another step, a fellow hiker offered encouragement, letting me know it was just a few minutes farther. And boy was it worth it. Pool of the Winds is a gorgeous falls with a clear pool of mountain water. And there are several spots to get good views of Rodney Falls and to continue on the hike if you choose (I did not!). Easy time going down. Quite a few people had hiking poles, to make it easier on the knees. I'd call this a success! (even with sore legs for a day or two afterward).

    I've never had such an amazing Mother's Day! I ended up going on this rafting trip alone because we…read morecouldn't find a babysitter so my husband could come too, and I was honestly a little nervous at first. But from the moment I arrived, everyone made me feel so comfortable and welcome that those nerves disappeared immediately. Our guide, Peter, was absolutely amazing. He was extremely thorough with safety instructions and made sure everyone felt safe and confident throughout the trip, while still keeping everything fun and exciting. He had such a great way with people and really helped make the experience memorable. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and even the owner took the time to be kind and personable, which made the whole experience even better. You can tell they genuinely care about giving people a great experience. This trip made me want to come back before it was even over, and I'll definitely be returning this summer to hopefully try one of the more challenging rafting trips. Thank you all so much for giving me such a fun and unforgettable Mother's Day!

    Had such a blast white water rafting with this group today! River Drifters is well prepared, and…read moretheir guides are complete experts in taking you down the river. Spencer and his fellow guides made our day so enjoyable and fun. The camaraderie they have with each other and their guests makes this adventure, nice and easy. It was my first time doing it, and even though I wasn't nervous, Spencer did an incredible job guiding us over the rapids. I will definitely do this again with them and I highly recommend!

    There are some days that feel less like a vacation and more like you accidentally wandered into an…read moreaction movie directed by a sugar fueled mountain man, and Wet Planet in White Salmon was exactly that kind of glorious madness. Four of us rolled in on a perfect sunny day, the kind where the sky looks so blue it feels suspicious, like somebody turned the saturation too high. Right away the crew greeted us like old friends who owed them money. Everybody was laughing, cracking jokes, getting us geared up, teaching us how not to immediately perish in the river. Confidence inspiring, honestly. Then came the bus ride down to the river, packed with excitement, nervous laughter, and two groups of Boy Scouts who apparently had been training for a Broadway musical in the woods. These kids were singing songs, hyping each other up, chanting like tiny warrior poets preparing for battle. By the time we got off the bus I felt like we were either going rafting or marching into medieval combat. And then there was Marcus. Sweet merciful Neptune, this man was born for whitewater. The guy had spent seven years guiding in Colorado doing extreme rafting and had enough wild stories to fill three campfires and a History Channel special. One minute he was talking about brutal rapids, the next he was casually mentioning adventures in Japan like this was all perfectly normal human behavior. Meanwhile I'm over here trying not to lose a sandal. The river itself was absolute chaos in the best possible way. At one point we straight up rammed another boat like two pirate ships fighting over treasure. Our raft launched sideways into a wall of waves and half the crew disappeared into the water face first. I came up sputtering like an old lawn mower while everybody screamed and laughed like maniacs. Somewhere in the madness Marcus was calmly steering us through the carnage with the confidence of a man who has absolutely seen worse. Halfway through the trip we stopped near this insane waterfall pouring down dripping cliffs that looked like something out of Jurassic Park. Then the instructors started jumping off the bridge into the water because apparently these people have no fear and possibly extra bones. Naturally everybody followed because once adrenaline takes over, common sense quietly packs its bags and leaves the building. By the end of the day our entire crew was completely jazzed, soaked to the soul, exhausted, and grinning like fools. Wet Planet delivered one of the finest adventures I've had in years. Great guides, incredible scenery, nonstop laughs, and enough excitement to make you question your life insurance policy. Absolutely smashing experience. I'd recommend these guys to anybody who wants to laugh, scream, get launched into a river, and come home feeling gloriously alive.

    We had such a fun experience and 10/10 would definitely recommend. I had friends visiting me in…read moreOregon so we did the full day. Some first timers for a few of them and they had a blast. This was my 2nd trip with Wet Planet on the White Salmon river and it did not disappoint! Derek was our raft guide and he was awesome. Super professional, conversational, knowledgable, funny and overall great vibe including Kirk and Denison who also kept it safe and fun! Even the photos came out great and for sure would do it again.
