Comments: Great fun day in Woodward. Hot outside, but the water temp was perfect. Lots of creek walking. Plenty of scrambling over and "limboing" under log piles. Skipped R9 due to late timing and strainer in flow.

Comment: Most other objectives we were interested in around Indian Heaven were at flood stage, so fell back to Woodward which had good water. Very cold day between water and wind out in the Columbia Gorge. Parked at the bottom and thrashed up the west side to drop in right at R1. Woodward could really benefit from a community service project to put in a better trail. A couple of the drops have wonky anchors and could benefit from bolting. The hike in always seems to take three times longer than the exit. Fun, if cold, day out. | |||||||

Comment: Attempted to shuttle up, but encountered new hostile local about 0.5mi past the end of the pavement. bit odd as I've been visiting the falls via upper Kueffler Road without incident since at least as far back as 2012.
Returned to the lower trailhead and thrashed in up the west side of the creek. Great water conditions and fun. We only ran the main stem of waterfalls (~8 rappels). | |||||||
