Abiqua and Butte Creek Falls

Yesterday, I hiked to Abiqua and Butte Creek Falls outside of Scotts Mills. Abiqua Falls is in a canyon with an unmarked trial, which leads to the almost fully enclosed waterfall. We took the wrong trail on the way down. A consequence of this was me sliding about half-way down the muddy cliff on my rear end.  Butte Creek Falls are much more accessable and on a 1.5 mile loop. The first picture is the upper falls and the second the lower falls. 

Silver Creek Falls

For anyone who lives in Western Oregon or any who visit, Silver Creek Falls State Park is a place you must see. It is a canyon with ten waterfalls which you can hike in a loop.  Here is a link to the Oregon State Parks website.

Timothy Lake

Timothy Lake is southeast of Mt. Hood, Oregon's highest peak. These pictures are from an early morning where the air is still a little hazy. 

Clackamas River

I took these pics this past weekend on the Clackamas River between Estacada and Ripplebrook. The first one  is the rapids at the Carter Bridge and the second is some rapids near milepost 47. 

Table Rock

Table Rock itself! Views of the rock face and the vegetation. I am particularly proud of the flower pic.
