Falls Creek Falls Trailhead: Take I-84 to Exit #44/Cascade Locks. Cross over Bridge of the Gods ($2 toll) and turn right onto WA Hwy 14. In about 5.5 miles turn left/north at the Carson exit/Wind River Road/Hwy 30 (blinking yellow light). Continue just under 15 miles north on this Hwy. Watch speed limits in some sections; it slows to 35 mph. Watch for the Carson Fish Hatchery (2nd one) on your left. After MP 14, you'll come to a Y intersection with Mineral Springs Rd straight ahead. Veer right continuing on Wind River Rd for less than a mile; watch for the sign for Falls Creek trails and Road #3062.
