Hey there everyone. I'm looking for some great places to hike. I love it but seem to go to the same places. Anyone have suggestions? Thanks!
Wishing you good health.

    Any part of Oregon is pretty good since it doesn't take much time to get to most of it.
    The Willamette Valley is probably the best since I live here.

    I agree that we Oregonians are lucky its so beautiful here. Especially the Willamette Valley we are just an hour away from the ocean about an hour away for the big city (my town is anyway), 2 hours away from snow and dessert type terrain. We are truly blessed.

    I love Beacon Rock for a challenge. ;)

    Oneianta Gorge is awesome too if you're A. not afraid to climb over the log jam, and B. not afraid to get wet to the chest. It's a COLD stream in there, but so SO worth it. Really stunning.

    Awesome I'll be sure to check it out after I'm done here.
    I went to McDowell Creek Park. Its so so pretty and some of it was challenging not hard but a good challenge especially on the stairs going up. :tongue:
    But all the waterfalls make it worth it.

    Onieanta (sp?) is INCREDIBLE. It's about a 2 story sheer rock face on either side, about 10 feet apart, with the stream running the entire bottom. There's a few good trails that come through there, and the we always hike up the stream to the waterfall at the end of our day. It's a good way to cool off. ;)

    I soooo agree with you tutujoli about Onieanta falls! I love going there on a hot summer's day. The log jam is a bit scary, but not too bad.
