Camping Day 3: Silver Falls

WARNING: Picture overload!! I took lots of pictures on this hike. We went to Silver Falls State Park and hiked the whole loop. It was an 8.7 mile hike. It had hills and stairs to climb! We started at the South Falls entrance and made our way around. This was the longest that my girls have ever hiked. They may or may not be a little traumatized from hiking this far. I think the phrase "I will never hike again" was said a few times. We will have to hike this again when we bring Ben here. The hike was awesome and the scenery was beautiful. We saw 9 of the 10 waterfalls. We were able to walk behind three of the waterfalls. The girls did enjoy seeing all the waterfalls. They were awesome hikers!!



Still happy at the first waterfall

  Double Falls was Addison's favorite






Taking a rest


Ben expressed some concern about our children's safety on this hike. I reassured him that I only had to save Brooklyn once from falling off the edge (True story)


The North Falls and the last one




My happy hikers at the end!
