Lower North Falls.
It is well worth the trek because you can walk behind the falls and see it from the other side.
After moving to the Pacific Northwest in June 2014, we decided to start this blog as a record of our outings to keep our families and friends informed of our "adventures" and to possibly help any lowly travelers on their own exploration of the Pacific Northwest.

There is an awesome set of stairs (99 steps, I counted) going down to the falls and that proved quite exhausting on the way back up.

From Upper North Falls, you turn around and follow the trail back past the trailhead and continue on to Lower North Falls, less than 1/8 mile from trailhead.
This was the last of two waterfalls at Silver Falls State Park, we have already seen and posted the other 8 waterfalls in this state park. This is one of our favorite state parks and I’m sure we will visit it again and again.

Upper North Falls
Our hike started with the Upper North Falls – a short 1/3 mile the North Falls trailhead.
It was an easy hike on a dirt path along the river with some lovely smaller rapids.
Only 1 mile from upper Government Camp to the lower but the tail was through heavy forest breaking out every now and again into sunlit meadows covered in wildflowers.
