Shellburg Falls
Went to Shellburg Falls, it is just past Silverton, and mill city off hwy 22 from Salem. It is a fantastic day out, bright and sunny.
I didn't leave Portland until after noon and it was 2 before I got to the trailhead.
It's a 6+ mile hike, but the road is blocked off so does the mileage start further in or from here?
The road was excellent, graveled, the weather perfect- not to hot and not to cold! Tall healthy trees all around me, covered in moss.
When I do finally get to the park, I felt like I easing a rain forest. Moss covered trees everywhere- the falls itself is very similar to Silver falls. You walk under the falls on a trail.
Very peaceful- I never saw another soul the whole hike!
Took a "shortcut" and ended up on the wrong ridge coming out - so ended up doing over 10 miles!
I'll go back someday, as it was very pretty!
Happy trails!
