A total solar eclipse and 9 waterfalls

August 25, 2017  •  Leave a Comment

In late August four intrepid travelers brave clogged freeways driving south to Oregon. Why? To experience a total solar eclipse, of course! On Monday August 21, 2017 we arrive early in Salem, find a viewing area, and wait for the show. Is a solar eclipse worth the logistic details: traffic, cost, weather, crowds? Emphatically, yes!

After the eclipse we head east to Silver Falls State Park for some hiking and to avoid traffic heading north. Oh, this park has several waterfalls. Some very unique waterfalls. Ten waterfalls, in fact; we visit nine.

Solar totality is a moment away. The trail passes behind several falls.
