Silver Falls, Oregon

​Silver Falls State Park.  We arrived mid-afternoon in a steady downpour, parked the rig, then headed into Silverton for some Thai food. It wasn’t until the next day, after Mark left to go work back East for a week and my sister joined me, that we discovered the beauty of the falls that gave the park its name.

​Walking along a canyon for a mile or so in a steady rain that changed to sleet for a few moments, we passed a half a dozen falls, ranging in heights up to 178 feet.

The hiking trail passed behind one of the tallest falls and you could feel drops of  water as it cascaded down.

​The moisture feeds a brilliant green moss that drapes itself over twisted trees and rocks.
​One thing I have learned out here in central Oregon: the weather changes from sun to rain at an instant. Check out the photo below to see the rain clouds pushing out a blue sky near Sublimity, Oregon.

Thanks for your comment, Tim. The falls were truly amazing -- there were at least a half dozen of them on this one walk.

     Listen as Johnny Cash & Lynn Anderson tear it up.
     We'll be singing their song when we come home.
