Silver Falls South Falls

It was back to Silver Falls State Park with Lori, Jeanette and Sylvia to see a couple of the South waterfalls that we did not get to on our last visit. It was short four mile hike with great scenery. We also visited the Nature Store and the Lodge where I finally got my hot Coco. Afterwards we went back to the Milltown Pub for lunch. With the rain we had to sit inside and decide if you can’t be in garden it is not the place to go.

Benson Plateau Hike

A solo condition hike on the PCT to Benson Plateau. A good variety of flowers were blooming along the trail. The hike was 13 miles with 4000 ft. total gain and on the trail for 7.5 hours.

Silver Falls State Park hike

A new entry point, the North Canyon Day Use Area, had been added to the park and Lori, Sylvia, Jeanette and I used to hike from. We did an out and back that would take us pass six water fall starting with North Falls. We hiked a little over six miles and then headed for lunch at our favorite garden eatery the Milltown Pub. It looks like a dive bar up front but in the back it a lovely garden to have lunch in on a warm, sunny day.
