Informational Signs @ Silver Falls State Park (Pause to Read) | Trail of Ten Falls | Oregon | 4K
This was a 7.4 mile, 1200 FT Elevation Gain Loop Hike of the ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE Trail of Ten Falls, Silver Falls State Park, Oregon, in 4K! This is unquestionably the BEST WATERFALL HIKE IN OREGON, and a TOP 5 WATERFALL HIKE IN THE ENTIRE USA, so it is truly EPIC and absolutely worth putting on your bucket list to experience. They almost designated this a National Park many years ago (I'm glad they didn't for logistical reasons), it is truly a natural beauty wonderland to behold. This was hiked on 5/20/23, the weather was classic Spring in Oregon with some sunshine and overcast, and there were no mosquitoes.
I hiked the Loop Clockwise and would recommend the same route. The Ten Waterfalls in order hiking Clockwise are:
1) South Falls - 177 FT (can walk behind!) (hiking beside South Fork Silver Creek)
2) Lower South Falls - 93 FT (can walk behind!) (hiking beside South Fork Silver Creek)
3) Lower North Falls - 30 FT (hiking beside North Fork Silver Creek)
4) Double Falls - 178 FT (hiking beside North Fork Silver Creek)
5) Drake Falls - 27 FT (hiking beside North Fork Silver Creek)
6) Middle North Falls - 106 FT (can walk behind!) (hiking beside North Fork Silver Creek)
7) Twin Falls - 31 FT (hiking beside North Fork Silver Creek)
8) North Falls - 136 FT (can walk behind!) (hiking beside North Fork Silver Creek)
9) Upper North Falls - 65 FT
10) Winter Falls - 134 FT
My favorites were the four you could walk behind, not just for that reason but they were also the most beautiful Waterfall Basins and most awe-inspiring overall. All Ten Waterfalls are very high quality and each one could be a destination hike on its own, so for them to be put together all in one EPIC Sensory Overload Waterfall Loop Hike is truly spectacular!

BITE-SIZED WILDS | A Brilliant Cornucopia of Fall Color @ Mount Hood | Timberline Loop | Oregon | 4K
This was a 13.7 mile, 2900 FT Elevation Gain Day-Hike in Oregon, Mount Hood Wilderness, focusing on the SW Quadrant of the approximately 40-mile EPIC Timberline Loop that goes around Mount Hood (one of the two best alpine backpacking hikes in Oregon along with Broken Top Loop), starting at Timberline Lodge Pacific Crest Trailhead, and hiking West towards Little Zig Zag Canyon, Zig Zag Canyon, crossing Zig Zag River and ultimately to Paradise Park and Paradise Branch Falls Lookout as our turnaround point as an out and back Day-Hike. Weather was a low of 34, high of 59, blue sky day and mildly to moderately windy. This was hiked on 10/3/2021 with fall colors in transition or full bloom, trail was completely clear of snow, and there were NO Mosquitoes! On Alltrails, this hike is called "Timberline Trail Around Mount Hood", with a focus on the SW Quadrant. As far as road conditions, it's highway until the turnoff for Timberline Lodge, and a well paved road all the way up the 6 miles to the parking lot. This is as easy and convenient of a trailhead parking as you will ever find. In my opinion, the road most definitely DOES NOT require 4-Wheel Drive. As far as permits, the Timberline Lodge Pacific Crest Trailhead DOES NOT require a Recreation.gov permit.
