Cabin Creek

Cabin Creek is a very short, fun creek that can be run in the spring. Evaluate the flow carefully before entry. Cabin could be very dangerous in high water conditions. Be aware: historically, the final rappel on Cabin Creek had a reputation for sticking ropes. A new anchor was added in December 2023, which, we believe, should alleviate these pull problems. If you do get a rope stuck, please let folks know on the Pacific NW Canyoning Facebook group, so we can get someone in there to remove it. This waterfall is a popular location, and it's not good to be leaving ropes hanging down the falls. Best solution, if you stick the rope, go back and get it. This is a great way to practice your ascending skills. Cabin Creek can be combined with other creeks in the immediate area for a longer canyon day.

Park at the Starvation Creek trailhead and hike west along the Starvation Ridge trail for 0.25mi. When you reach Cabin Falls, check that the flow is reasonable for everyone on your team. Retrace your steps a short distance and follow the Starvation Creek Cutoff trail upwards for about 0.5mi. Shortly after rounding the nose of the ridge, drop down gentle slopes to the top of R1. Beware poison oak.

Ahead is Cabin Falls (R2 & R3): a two-tier falls about 250ft. Historically, this was run as a single rappel, but it's better to break it into two stages.
