Trail details: Ten Falls Loop Trail has, 10 waterfalls on all 1 trail!! This is a hike you don’t want to miss! It’s one of my favorite day waterfall hikes within short driving from Portland, and I make sure to do a few times each year. It’s about 8 miles, moderate, with 1200 elevation gain, 4 of the waterfalls we will be able to pass behind them. It will be about 4 hrs. total hiking, easy-moderate pace.
More details can be found here on AllTrails. We may be going when it is the spring run off, so expect majestic awe-inspiring waterfalls! Here is a copy of the park map.
More details:
- Bring snacks/food, water, layers/warm ones you can shed, hiking medium-tall shoes (no sneakers!!), rain jacket, hiking poles, etc.
- There are multiple sections of the area/trail that do not have cell reception, so please text host 20-30min. before you get to Silverton area if you have questions, need to coordinate, or going to be late.
