Simple, fantastic, quick hike with some beautiful falls as payoff. 4 people and 2 dogs hiked the little trail to the waterfalls after we found that dogs were strictly not allowed at the Rowena Plateau and Tom McCall Preserve(further out of Mosier town). You wouldn’t know where to pick up this trail without a guide book, but you basically park after crossing the Mosier Creek bridge off exit 69. Hike up a bit and you see about 5 gravestones of the original founding family of Mosier. Really cool if you like that kind of thing. Keep going for 5 – 10 minutes till you get to the waterfall. There are some pretty photo ops, and you can precariously walk out on the crag and see the torrent beneath. We let the dogs off leash for a bit and they bounded on the grassy hillsides. (Beware of rattlers)(And ticks)(We didn’t, and had to pick ticks for a while before leaving). But so worth it!
