Greenleaf Creek

A short canyon on Greenleaf Creek on the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge. It drains the south side of Table Mountain and the Greenleaf Basin area. It's also known as Lower Greenleaf Falls, although this is a bit of a misnomer as the creek goes through 4-5 distinct drops. The creek is a bit mediocre and is probably best for Portland-area canyon obsessives. Parking is at the Bonneville Hot Springs Resort.

Follow the trail behind the Hot Springs Resort up to Carpenter's Lake (now swamp). Turn right at the old track, then right again immediately on an overgrown connector trail to a 4-way junction at the PCT. Bear right on the PCT and follow until you reach the bridge across Greenleaf Creek. Suit up and head downstream perhaps 100 yards to the top of the canyon.

All beta here should be taken with a grain of salt. Floods and landslides may re-arrange the entire canyon. The rock quality improves marginally as one descends through the canyon. Downclimb the next tier, and duck through small boulder cave at the bottom to the top of R1.
