july 2006

For the fourth of July, we headed down to Salem to meet up with our good friends for a day of hiking and sightseeing at Silver Falls State Park. We hiked down a steep trail into a bowl of rainforest on a spectacular July day, snapping pictures one after the other. The trail our friends had chosen is a less trafficked part of the park, which meant we didn't have to contend with the crowds at the main park and campground, which was nice considering it was a holiday at it seemed everyone in the state had come to the park. (After our hike, we did head over to the main part of the park and despite the crowd, managed to find a nice shady spot for a picnic. The last three pictures were taken there.)

The falls were stunning. I don't have words to do them justice so I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves.
