An amazing hike and what a gift you get at the end - a suspension bridge that is 100 feet in the air and a waterfall that has a 75 foot drop!

The trail itself is 1.25 miles to the suspension bridge. I heard a lot of scuttlebutt about how scary the bridge is. It's not! Once you start crossing it you realize how secure it is and a few feet in your senses are swept away with the stunning view!

After you cross the suspension bridge it is a short walk, maybe another .25 miles, down to the base of the waterfall. I love how close you can get to this beautiful waterfall. You can feel it in your bones as it thunders over the cliff and drops 75 feet! Looking up you can appreciate how high the suspension bridge is.

After you have enjoyed the atmosphere make sure to explore a little! Drift Creek itself has many beautiful spots. We wandered along the river's edge a bit and enjoyed those fresh forest smells you only get when you're in the middle of it. So much to enjoy!'

Overall the hike back to the parking area is about 1.5 miles and although it is uphill most of the way, it is a very comfortable gradual slope. Plus there are 2 benches along the way to be able to relax and take a break if you need to!
