Saturday we hiked the Trail of Ten Falls at Silver Falls State Park in Oregon. It's about 90 minutes south of Portland. From our hotel near the airport we swung by our friend, Dan, who lives in the Rose Garden neighborhood. After a tour around his gardens and all the work he's put into them we headed south together to the park.
The signature trail at Silver Falls State Park is the Trail of Ten Falls. We didn't hike the whole trail... we only visited eight of the ten falls. Here's a video I put together with clips from seven of them:
Some of the falls are quite tall. South Falls, for example, plunges 177 feet over a rocky lip. And the trail goes behind several of the falls. It's a rare experience.
The weather today was beautiful. The last time we were here it was gloomy and rained part part of the time. Legging it on the trail in the drizzle was not fun. But today was warm and sunny the whole time. What an amazing hike. What a tiring hike.
In beauty I walk.
