Image
 Silver Creek Falls - 10 Falls Trail Hike Starting Location: South Falls Day Use Parking Lot Point of Interest :  10 waterfalls (and a bunch of smaller ones due to recent rain) Length of hike:  about 7.2 mile loop. It took us 6 hours, but we stopped a lot to take pictures, and we had snacks along the way. Level:  moderate, but long.  Bathrooms:  Yes, and  visitor center, deli Parking : More than enough EV Chargers : Yes A beautiful hike, with lots of water, forest, and flowers.

S4 Hike #4 Abiqua Falls

Image
Abiqua Falls Starting Location: Private Property near Scotts Mill Point of Interest :  1 gorgeous waterfall Length of hike:  about 1.5  mile loop from the trailhead. We had to park about a mile up the road due to poor road conditions, and the low clearance on our Prius Level:  challenging. Very rocky, and steep sections Bathrooms:  No, just the trees Parking : Along the road, nothing official This is a bit hard to find, so make sure to do some research. The trailhead is pretty clear, and the trail was marked with caution tape (I think to make it easy to see). There was some rope available on the steep sections to help with climbing. It's do-able, but just take it slow. The view at the end is worth it. It looks like some people come in, have lunch, swim, and make a day of it.
