Checkout time was 1PM giving time to unload the scooter and tackle the Tam-a-lau Trail from the Upper Deschutes Day Use Area. Crooked Creek forms a waterfall just at the entrance to our campground with a nice long cascade 600’ to the Deschutes River below.
The trailhead is at Loop B of the Deschutes Campground across the bridge. But parking for hikers is in the day use area a half mile farther on.
The trail is called ‘an experience of a lifetime’. Sure enough that first mile is a real killer! It starts out easy enough on a paved walkway, then quickly turns to single track with steps up the steeper inclines.
The arrow points to where the scooter is parked. It’s just a speck and that’s only half way up.
Crooked Creek is W/E only but has a dump station with a view!
