I did a short hike up to Skookum Falls. It is not far from Crystal Mountain about ten miles. Just take highway 410 and then Forest Service road 73 to the trailhead.
The trail up was mostly flat going along the White River.
There was not a lot of people on the trail but I did see some mountain bikers.
Skookum Falls elevation 2400 ft.
Skookum means "Evil Spirit" and also "Strong" in Chinook jargon.
I came when the water is the lowest, the falls really move in the early summer months.
Here's the viewpoint from highway 410 if you don't want to hike.
The trail was fairly easy but the hike up to the falls was a little difficult with maybe 350 ft. elevation gained in less then a 1/4 mile.
