Oregon’s fall foliage is a sight to behold, but there’s one way to make it even more beautiful: throw in a few waterfalls! At Silver Falls State Park, the foliage is ablaze with vibrant hues, and the Trail of Ten Falls is hands-down the most beautiful place to be right now.
Welcome to Silver Falls State Park! This is one of the most beautiful parks in the state system, and during autumn months it becomes even more magical.
