I love waterfalls. I love Silver Falls State Park. It is located about 45 minutes east of Salem and feels like it is in the middle of nowhere - at least until it is over run by visitors in the spring and summer. Last weekend was very nice and there were very few people on the trail - relatively.
These two are of the same fall - Lower North - from different sides of the stream. The trail goes behind the fall where you get a little shower and hear the thud of the water on the rock just below. The picture below seems a little hazy because there is a lot of mist thrown up in the air. I was about 200 yards away from the falls when I took this shot and had a hard time keeping the lens from fogging up and getting some moisture on it. It's hard to be me sometimes!
So these waterfalls are not included in the count for the Trail of Ten Falls, but they are still nice and I enjoy them. Sometimes the smaller ones are nice as well.
I was not far off the trail here (in fact I could have used the bridge over this little stream as a foot rest) and many people passed by without noticing me. How do I know? I scared them when I said hello. Entertainment for all.
Hope you enjoyed the falls. Stay tuned for more pictures from the desert.
