• Willamette Valley - On the way to and from the waterfall we will drive through the Willamette Valley, past hazelnut orchards, vineyards and tree farms, as well as past some of the only remaining Garry Oak savannah
• Silver Falls State Park - With medium-intensity hikes, we will explore some of the most stunning and exciting waterfalls and geologic formations in Oregon. Over the three hours we are here, we will visit 3-6 waterfalls with your group’s choice of two medium-length hikes (1-2 miles/3-5 kilometers each) or a longer point-to-point hike (5 miles / 8 kilometers) with your guide starting you at one end and picking you up at the other. We will walk around and behind South Falls, past lower South Falls, and have the exciting experience of walking past the sheet of water coursing over the falls; at North Falls, we will have the unique opportunity to see lava tree casts and near-old growth trees.

Please note this hike is not technical but does have a lot of up and down hills and stairways; it’s doable for most visitors who are comfortable walking the distance required.

• Silverton - We will pass through the old logging town of Silverton, Oregon, home to one of Oregon’s only Frank Lloyd Wright houses
• Mount Angel - We will pass through the German town of Mt. Angel, learning about the Octoberfest held here each fall
