After our brief visit to Silver Falls back in July we wanted to have another longer visit, and do some hiking. The entire loop was over 8 miles so we did the shorter version and walked 6.5. Ruben and I were joined by our friend Freddie. We walked slowly and joyfully the entire way, and at the end we were a little footsore, but very happy we'd made the trip. It was a 100 degree day, and we were happy to be hiking next to flowing water for most of it.
The highlight for Ruben was stopping by one of the smaller falls to play in the water, look for rocks and crawdads, and climb up any available rock surfaces. The highlight for me was the delicious picnic, napping by the water, and my encounter with the witch. I'd detail my encounter with the witch here, but its a better story in person.
Here are some lovely pictures. If anybody is interested in going to Silver Falls, Ru and I would be happy to be your trail guides... if you hike slow.
