Trail of 10 Falls Hike

Judah had one request on his birthday: to hike! He chose Silver Falls State Park which has a hike called "The Trail of Ten Falls" -- we chose to do the 6 mile loop which brings us to 7 of the 10 falls and it was the perfect hike! We got to the trail just as the park opened and beat the crowds. The trail was just stunning! Each fall was more mesmerizing than the next. Many of the falls you hike under which really feels amazingly refreshing and equally beautiful.
We saw some people on the trail, but not enough to make it crowded. The hike was not too hard either. Some steep switchbacks but otherwise long enough to feel accomplished but not wipe us out! The weather was just stunning too - crisp and clear! 

Oregon hiking just hits differently than hiking back east and I am glad I finally did this iconic hike!!

  6. This looks like an amazing walk. We don't have falls like this really in the south west of Western Australia where I live. We need to go right up to the top of the state about 4-5 days drive to get there. We didn't visit some beautiful falls last year in Queensland on the other side of Australia. Have a fabulous week and thankyou again for the linkup.

  7. That looks like a great hike. At first I thought it was near where you live until I remembered you were in OR!
