Far Country Falls via Licorice Fern Trail

Far Country Falls via Licorice Fern Trail is a moderate hike that features the forest and, of course, a waterfall. We recommend doing this hike in the spring or early summer as the falls tend to dry up as it gets warmer and drier. There are lots of other hikes that can be reached via Licorice Fern Trail, so feel free to keep exploring beyond the bounds of this route.

The route begins at 169th Ave SE, but there is no public parking here. If you need to park, start from SE Licorice Way, where there is parking. Take the trail up along the creek and into the trees. Where the trail splits, you can go right for a short jaunt up to the Far Country Viewpoint or left for the falls viewpoint. When you’re ready, retrace your steps back to the trailhead.
