Review:<\/strong> July 2, 2012
\nThe trail starts about .25 mile south of the
\nGales Creek Trailhead just before the bridge over the Nehalem River. The trail
\ngoes gently uphill into the forest along the stream for more than .4 mile,
\nclimbing up a switchback. There are frequent glimpsed of the small river and it
\nis always within earshot. Along the trail the lush undergrowth includes Piggy-back
\nplants, Vine maple, Salmon berries, and Stinging nettles.<\/p>\n

At just a little more than .5 mile the trail crosses a gravel logging road. The
\ntrail continues across the road and goes back into the forest. The trail climbs
\na couple of short switchbacks and then passes through a small clearing in the
\nforest, probably it was once a logging road. From the clearing there is a nice
\nview of the surrounding hillsides, then the trail plunges back into the forest
\nagain.<\/p>\n

The trail continues to climb gently for another .4 mile through the forest with
\noccasional glimpses of the surrounding hillsides. After that, the trail begins
\nto drop and at about 1.5 miles from the trailhead, it passes through a large
\ngrassy meadow only offering views of the surrounding forest. Then the trail
\nre-enters the forest once again, gently descending towards the day use area.<\/p>\n

At 1.6 miles from the trailhead you will reach a junction for Reehers
\nCampground and Reehers Camp Trailhead. Turn right and take the trail that leads
\nto the trailhead at the day-use area and take a few moments to admire the
\nold-growth Douglas fir that is right in front of you. The tree must be at least
\n7 feet in diameter.<\/p>\n

This is a great trail for small children and dogs. Remember to share the trail
\nwith the horses. If you meet a horse, get off the trail on the downhill side.
\nControl your pet so you don\u2019t spook any horses. This trip can be combined with
\nthe Step Creek Trail or Central Gales Creek Trail for a longer hike.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the photos!
