Hunter Falls is a narrow, deep cascade on Hunter Creek in the Lostine River canyon of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. From Lostine, drive 11.8 miles south on the Lostine River Road and park at the Lostine Guard Station on the right. Walk about 100 yards back north, across the creek; the trail leaves the road just north of the creek crossing. It climbs quickly with glimpses of the falls and fades out above the falls. Return the same way.
