Vista Point Trail (#419)

Just a little more than a mile up Wahkeena Trail #420 near Fairy Falls is the junction of Vista Point Trail #419. As its name implies, this 0.9 mile trail takes hikers to a great viewpoint. Vista Point Trail rejoins Wahkeena Trail just before Wahkeena’s junction with Devil's Rest Trail #420C.

The forest here was severely burned in the Eagle Creek Fire of 2017. Expect brushy conditions and possible windfallen logs.
