Where is tamolitch pool oregon

Hike through a ferny bottomland, and cross a curving footbridge over a creek that pours forth from an even bigger spring. The trail then begins to wind through moss and lichen-covered lava outcroppings.

Watch out for mountain bikers in this area as the route is narrow. Pass through a vine maple and hazel thicket to arrive at the first of several high viewpoints over the surging river.

Once you reach the Blue Pool you have two options — sit down and enjoy the views before turning back OR head down toward the embankment and get closer to the crystal clear water.
