Iron Creek Falls is a perfect addition to any visit to the Windy Ridge section of Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. The falls are easy to access, with good parking on the shoulder and a nice 500 foot trail. Once at the falls, the trail splits. To the right, a short scramble down takes you to the waterfalls edge, or go left on a trail to the river bar a bit downstream.
From Randle, take Forest Road 25 south and follow it to within 1/2 mile of the junction with FR99 (Windy Ridge Access). A sign will be on the left at the pull-out for Iron Creek Falls.
