Cynthia Creek

A single waterfall plunging into a short slot canyon located north of Archer Mountain. There are not too many slots like this in the Columbia Gorge. Be aware: approach & exit time will likely take longer than time spent in the canyon. A high pay-to-play.

Backtrack along Duncan Creek Rd and turn off right onto a gated powerline track. Follow the track west about ~1mi, 650ft gain to about 1600ft elevation where Cynthia Creek passes under the road through a culvert. Look for a sign on a tree with a short trail leading to the top of the falls.

At the bottom it's possible to exit immediately up a steep dirty chute, or pass through the bottom of the waterfall and exit up DCR onto a ledge to walk off.

Exit the creek DCR below the falls and up a steep slope into the woods. Thrash back over to the powerline track. Return the way you came.
