Gifford Pinchot National Forest Custom Search   Getting to French Creek from Gifford Pinchot National Forest is easy. A pleasant tour to Surprise Meadow is a glorious way to spend an afternoon; why not a little side spree to Steamboat Creek. Why not camp at Twin Falls Campground since you're here at Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Whohoo, so much amusing stuff in one place! The Northern Cascade Range is so good! A short trip to Upper Falls is always worthwhile; hey, Poison Creek is a magnificent local stream. The Snaggletooth Creek to Lewis River portion, a whitewater part on Quartz Creek is     5 miles in length. This nearby part of whitewater is a grade IV-V+.
