Classes started at UO this week, so Joshua decided we needed one last summer adventure before he started teaching there. We headed for Salt Creek Falls on Tuesday; it was a great choice. The drive was pretty short, the hike was easy, and the waterfall was impressive. The first view of the waterfall was right there by the parking lot. Salt Creek Falls is the second highest waterfall in Oregon.
There is a short trail that takes you down closer to the base of the falls, so we went on that. Mary loved hiking and walked the whole way down and back.
It was a beautiful hike through the trees with great views of the falls.
It was so lovely to be out walking through the forest.
There was a little picnic area too, so we had lunch among the trees.
After lunch we walked around a little more and went down to the river so Mary could touch the water; of course she thought that was great.
It was a short adventure because we made it home by mid-afternoon, but it was a lot of fun to get out and enjoy some natural beauty and fresh air.
