Trip Journal - 5/10/07, 5/19/07 | | Notes: | This pair of spectacular waterfalls, located deep in the coast range, are worth the long drive to access them. From the parking lot the trail descends ¾ of a mile to the Upper Falls. Continuing on for 1¼ miles you will reach the Lower Falls from which you can also view the North Fork Smith Falls. From this lower viewpoint you do have the option of continuing on down stream 6 ½ miles to the North Fork Smith River Trailhead, providing you planned ahead and left a shuttle car. | | Trail_Number: | 1376 | | Route: | From Hwy 101, ½ mile North of Reedsport turn east onto Road # 48 North Fork Road, go 24.5 miles.
