Silver Falls- why did it take us so long to get here? February 6, 2011

South Falls

So it's your birthday, the Super Bowl is today and your team is not in it after being expected to win the whole damn thing- what do you do? Get out of town and go to the most glorious string of ten waterfalls anywhere on earth. I'm serious, this state park is a must-see...over and over again. Why it took us four years to get here after riding by it (see Petal Pedal post) and driving through the surrounding area, I'll never know... but as we say in Oregon...we got here as soon as we could!

With the water flowing at its peak, we saw more than 10 waterfalls (some recede and disappear in the summer) and the verdant green of the rain forest brightened our spirits and the day (despite the fact that the NE Patriots weren't in the Super Bowl).
