Geocache Description:

Park overview:


Rainbow Falls State Park is a 139-acre camping park with 3,400 feet of freshwater shoreline on the Chehalis River. The south side of the park across from the highway consists of over 2.5 miles of trails that wind through acres of mature Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, and Hemlock. This cache will bring you to the north trailhead and eventually onto the Deer Trail.


Regarding the trails, there is a large loop that follows the rectangular outside perimeter of the park. It's divided up into the Hemlock and Deer trails. Three smaller trails are contained within. These are the Oxalis Loop, Woodpecker, and Salal trails.
