The trail of ten falls is a popular pick for any northwest hiker because of the cluster of unique waterfalls.

Trips
The ten major waterfalls at Silver Falls State Park are well known.On this walk we shortcutted the two north falls to reduce the walk from ten miles to six, and then drove over to see them. The path goes behind several of the falls.
A beautiful trip to view most of the 10 waterfalls in the park. The weather was great, but somewhat humid. The trail was in good shape and we were surprised at how many people were out today.We had lunch directly below the double falls, which turned out to be a popular spot as you could rest on logs in the creek and enjoy the mist wafting over our faces.
Got up around 10 today and decided to go for a nice ~10 mile hike in the very scenic Silver Falls State Park just east of Salem about an hour away. When I got there I realized the ticket machine for the parking pass couldn't break a ten so had to beg for a buck from passing motorists in the parking lot. The first guy I asked, a nice looking older guy,...
I've always been a lover of the Pacific Northwest, but have only had a few brief visits in my entire life (while working on plans to move this way all the while). This park and this hike are like heaven on earth to me - they capture everything I love about this part of the country.There are ten waterfalls on this hike, several of which would warrant their own park individually in...

Spotted one garter snake sunning itself on the trail. Very cute.
Lots of water thundering over the falls this year.
Finally got to the silver falls to take some photos now that fall had arrived, with the change of color. Plus I wanted over cast sky's so I could take longer exposed pics. I got a little too much of what I wanted, and it rained the first half of the trip, but it still made for good photos.
Met with an old HS distance-running teammate (graduated latter '60's) whom I've only seen once since. Great 7+ mile hike round the perimeter of Silver Creek Falls State Park. Spectacular scenery; great trail system; spring rainfall fills up all the waterfalls. Lunch in Silverton following. 45 minutes from Salem. 1.5 hrs from Portland.
