Hiking Exploring Lower North Waterfall! | Trail of Ten Falls | Silver Falls State Park | Oregon | 4K

This was a 7.4 mile, 1200 FT Elevation Gain Loop Hike of the ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE Trail of Ten Falls, Silver Falls State Park, Oregon, in 4K! This is unquestionably the BEST WATERFALL HIKE IN OREGON, and a TOP 5 WATERFALL HIKE IN THE ENTIRE USA, so it is truly EPIC and absolutely worth putting on your bucket list to experience. They almost designated this a National Park many years ago (I'm glad they didn't for logistical reasons), it is truly a natural beauty wonderland to behold. This was hiked on 5/20/23, the weather was classic Spring in Oregon with some sunshine and overcast, and there were no mosquitoes.
I hiked the Loop Clockwise and would recommend the same route. The Ten Waterfalls in order hiking Clockwise are:

1) South Falls - 177 FT (can walk behind!) (hiking beside South Fork Silver Creek)
2) Lower South Falls - 93 FT (can walk behind!) (hiking beside South Fork Silver Creek)
3) Lower North Falls - 30 FT (hiking beside North Fork Silver Creek)
4) Double Falls - 178 FT (hiking beside North Fork Silver Creek)
5) Drake Falls - 27 FT (hiking beside North Fork Silver Creek)
6) Middle North Falls - 106 FT (can walk behind!) (hiking beside North Fork Silver Creek)
7) Twin Falls - 31 FT (hiking beside North Fork Silver Creek)
8) North Falls - 136 FT (can walk behind!) (hiking beside North Fork Silver Creek)
9) Upper North Falls - 65 FT
10) Winter Falls - 134 FT

My favorites were the four you could walk behind, not just for that reason but they were also the most beautiful Waterfall Basins and most awe-inspiring overall. All Ten Waterfalls are very high quality and each one could be a destination hike on its own, so for them to be put together all in one EPIC Sensory Overload Waterfall Loop Hike is truly spectacular!
