Hike: The Trail of Ten Falls

 Saturday, March 27 - our family went on a beautiful hike at Silver Falls State Park here in Oregon.  The trail was called the Trail of Ten Falls.  We parked at the South Falls Day Use Area - parking lot and went on the Rim Trail first.

It was a little chilly starting out - especially in the shade.


The first falls we came to was Winter Falls - below.







The next falls is Upper North Falls - below.




The little creek is so pretty!  Reminded me of the Truckee River in Reno.








The next falls is North Falls - below.



Love the rainbow to the left.





Going behind the falls - so pretty!



That view!




So neat!





Lot of moss and ferns!


We stopped by the creek to eat our lunch. :)











The next falls was Twin Falls - above.  A smaller one but you can see how it looks like it is split in two.


The next falls is Middle North Falls - below.




The amount of water going over these falls was incredible!!







What a gorgeous scene!




Me and my love!







I love this shot-above. :)





The next falls was Drake Falls - above.  A smaller one but nice.  Just harder to get a good picture.



The next falls was Double Falls - above.  If you look closely, you will see the small waterfall at the top that goes into the second waterfall.  It didn't come out too well in the photo.




The next falls was Lower North Falls - above.


This deep pool of water in the creek was beautiful.








The next falls was Lower South Falls - above.





Isn't it gorgeous?







Just watching the water fall is mesmerizing!




So pretty!





The last falls we saw was South Falls.










This was an amazing hike - definitely a must do in our area of Oregon!


Addie's friend from Reno - our old church in Reno - Chris - came to visit for a few days and was with us on the hike.  You will see him in a few pictures.









Great day in Oregon!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."  Psalm 27
