The Cispus Braille Trail is a unique and accessible hiking experience designed to connect visitors of all abilities with the beauty of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Located near the Cispus Learning Center outside Randle, this short interpretive trail winds through a lush old-growth forest of towering Douglas fir and western red cedar.
The path is fitted with guide ropes and interpretive signs in both print and braille, allowing visually impaired hikers to explore independently while engaging their senses with the sights, sounds, and scents of the forest. Birdsong, the rush of the nearby Cispus River, and the earthy fragrance of moss and ferns create a fully immersive experience. Benches along the route provide places to pause and reflect in the peaceful woodland setting.
Perfect for families, school groups, or anyone looking for a gentle and meaningful outdoor experience, the Cispus Braille Trail highlights the forest’s inclusivity and natural wonder.
