A tributary of the Quinault River in the Olympic National Park, Howe Creek is a hike up the river canyon and then back down with a lot of scrambling and wading, some of it chest deep. The canyon has high steep walls covered with brush and trees that eventually close in and it gets very narrow. At points it is so narrow that it is necessary to swim between rock walls. There is a small waterfall, about ten feet high, formed where two enormous logs fell into the creek making a dam. This can be bypassed by climbing a rock pitch to the right. There is a tree stump above that provides a convenient anchor for a hand line or rappel. Recommended to do this route when water levels are at their lowest and current is not strong.
