This was a Day-Hike (November 6, 2024) in the Willamette Pass area of Central Oregon, Willamette National Forest, Hiking Salt Creek Falls Trail. The Salt Creek Falls Observation Site & Picnic Area is a National Fee Area, NW Forest Pass accepted. The Area is divided into two distinct Hikes - the easier one to the Right is Salt Creek Falls Trail to Upper, Middle & Lower Viewpoints, approximately 0.6 Miles and around 200 FT Elevation Gain. *That Short Hike Only is This Video!* You can also go to the Left and do the Diamond Creek Falls Loop, including Shoreline Access to Too Much Bear Lake, which is a 3.2 Mile, 500+ FT Elevation Gain Loop on it's own. The BEST WAY to Hike this Area is to combine both Waterfall Hikes into a Super Loop and see it all in one go, which is still a relatively modest Hike of around 3.9 Miles and 750 FT Elevation Gain.

In Conclusion, there are three ways to Hike/Explore/Tackle this area:
1) Salt Creek Falls Trail ONLY - EASIEST OPTION - 0.6 Miles, 200+ FT Elevation Gain *THIS FULL HIKE IS CAPTURED IN THIS VIDEO!*
2) Diamond Creek Falls Loop & Too Much Bear Lake ONLY - MODERATE OPTION - 3.2 Miles, 500+ FT Elevation Gain
3) THE BEST WAY - One Super Loop Combining ALL Highlights - Salt Creek Falls, Diamond Creek Falls Loop & Too Much Bear Lake - HARDEST OPTION - 3.9 Miles, 750 FT Elevation Gain - *Please Note these Hiking Stats are still relatively modest in the grander scheme of Adventure Hiking, keeping it real.*
Lastly, there is another option to Hike South to Vivian Lake, but that is more of a Forest Hike away from this infrastructure that just happens to share the Parking Trailhead, so I won't go into detail on that Hike here.
