Honey Creek Loop

The trailhead can be found about an hour south from Bandy Creek Visitor Center. It is off of the Mt. Helen Rd. to the west or Mountain View Rd. to the east.Right off the bat is a set of steps hikers can take up to follow the ridge before eventually dipping down into a thicker part of the woods. About 1.5 miles into the trail is a location known as Echo Rock, a large cliff face. Continuing on the loop, hikers will descend again towards Honey Creek and follow a portion of the Big South Fork River. Heading south, hikers will come across a slot canyon, a rare geological formation in this region of the United States. The striations along the canyon are very similar to that of those found in the American southwest. A little under 3.5 miles into the loop, hikers will find the Boulder House Falls. Around 4 mies into the loop, there's a small side trail on the left that leads to the Honey Creek Falls. Otherwise, hikers can continue along the trail and back towards the trailhead/parking area.
