Silver Falls State Park - Oregon


The trails here are amazing. They are in excellent condition. Nice footing, not that narrow. It feels like you are riding through a botanical garden. Lots of wild flowers on either side of the trail.
Lots of shade on the trails.
These wild hollyhocks can be seen throughout the park and you can smell them as you ride past.

The foliage is so lush!
The temps here are in the high 80s in the middle of the day, so we ride right after breakfast. We got back from our ride around noon and ate lunch. Then, we went into town to do laundry and buy gas and groceries. 
It broke 100 degrees while we were in town. 
The horses were waiting in their corrals when we got back and hungry for dinner, so they got fed first thing.
We hope to do another ride in the morning.
This park has an RV dump, so before we leave we will make a stop to empty our black and gray water tanks. 
Tomorrow night we will be at Nehalem State Park.

Silver Falls State Park - Oregon

Sunday July 19 - after riding the Big Meadow trail up to the waterfall again, we left for our next campsite - Silver Falls State Park.

The road into the park was nice and wide. There was signage directing us into our reserved campsite. We had to back into the site, but Ari is starting to feel a little more comfortable with it.


The corrals here are pretty nice - about twice the size as the corrals at Big Meadows. The water is easily accessible. The manure dump is across from our site and the vault toilet is down the road.
We are spending two nights here. It looks like there are lots of trails to explore and the park looks well maintained.
