Discover the beauty of the low forest along the clear flowing Ohanapecosh River. The trail passes through the Ohanapecosh Hot Springs and follows the old boundary trail to Silver Falls. The Ohanapecosh River is squeezed between the rocks and falls 75 feet to produce the silver spray. The trail can be walked as a loop by crossing the river on the bridge below the falls and returning to the campground on the other side of the river. Stay on the trail and behind the safety barriers.
Rocks are wet and slippery.
The trail around the island offers a sense of grandeur and peace. Just west of the Stevens Canyon Entrance Station. Following the rim the trail comes to Shadow Lake, a good place for lunch. Return to Sunrise can be via the steeper trail to Frozen Lake and Sourdough Ridge or to follow the old roadway back to Sunrise. The beautiful subalpine meadows of the Sunrise area are a challenging environment.
