FKT: Courtney Clifton - Cathlapotle Trail of 8 Falls (Lewis River) - 2022-11-19

I’ve had my eye on this trail for awhile and today worked out. I did not have a ride or shuttle so decided to run up the trail from Curly Creek trailhead and then back down. I stopped my watch and started a new activity at Quartz Creek so it would record the correct distance. I saw very few people all day and most were near the upper trailhead. Those falls were amazingly beautiful and pictures just don’t do them justice. 
I was hoping to run a little faster than I did but I ended up a little dehydrated and couldn’t keep my pace on the uphills. Overall it was a good run though and I am happy to have experienced the trail in both directions.
