Discovering Oregon’s South Falls
On Social Media I see a lot of images of places that I want to visit. Oregon’s waterfalls and geology features are saved to my google maps as “Want to Go There”. A mini vacation, had me driving East to West to visit family and I ticked off Silver Falls State Park off the list. Known for it’s Trail of Ten Falls, a 8 mile loop with many well, um… waterfalls. I didn’t have the time to hike the whole loop but made the short hike to South Falls.
From the parking lot, it’s about a mile, on a well paved path with several vantage points to view the falls. South Falls has a 177′ drop and is the tallest drop fall in the park. Visitors can walk behind the waterfall (if you look really close, you can see some people along the railing.)
For the image, I wanted to show the size of the basalt amphitheather with it’s flowing water cascading down into the bowl. This is 6 vertical photos and stitched together to create a pano.
