Waterfalls

At the very end of the Forest Road 74, Douglas Falls is easily reached by a ten minute trail, also good for viewing wildlife. With a 70-foot, free-fall drop over a sheer cliff, it's no wonder that Douglas Falls is the main attraction. If you are still looking to climb, a trail is located next to the far side of the falls leading up to the top.
Old Growth: Trees

A trail next to Walker Falls leads into rare old growth.
Cliffs and Boulders

The Boundary contains lots of boulders and cliffs. Daunting in their immense size, the cliffs are not only beautiful, but also present a unique opportunity to rock climbers of all skill levels. Whether a beginner or an expert, the cliffs give challenging practice. Corner Rock is a massive boulder, seemingly precariously balanced on a small knoll. Covered on top with trees, moss, and vines, Corner Rock resonates age. Unfortunately, part of the rock has been defaced with graffiti, and campsites litter the ground underneath.
Scenic

Look below at the wildlife photos to see camouflage at its best. A rocky trail is available up the side of the cliffs for a view of the mountains.

Development

Traversing the boundary can be difficult, and Forest Road 74, an 8-mile long gravel road, trailing along the sides of the mountains, allows drivers, hikers, horseback riders, and mountain bikers to view several of the places that make the Coleman Boundary so distinct. Camping is allowed as long as you are 500 feet from roads and the picnic area, and not in designated wildlife openings. No developed camping sites have been built, but there are several places at the beginning of FR 74 that are easily accessible.
