Chasing waterfalls at Silver Falls State Park
Known as the crown jewel of the Oregon State Parks system, Silver Falls State Park near Salem, Oregon, is the place to go for great trails and plenty of waterfalls.
Silver Falls State Park is known for its Trail of Ten Falls, which is a 7.2 mile loop with an elevation change of 800 feet. I hiked part of the trail and the first waterfall I came to was Winter Falls.
There is beautiful scenery throughout the park with rivers and the forest.
Make sure to check out South Falls, a 177-foot waterfall that you can walk behind.
It’s an amazing experience to walk behind the falls and hear the water crashing down. Prepare to get wet from the mist!
