This One Easy Hike In Oregon Will Lead You To Two Amazing Hidden Waterfalls

Take an unforgettable hike past two stunning waterfalls on the Koosah and Sahalie Waterfalls Hike. Located on the McKenzie River in the Willamette National Forest, this beautiful 2.6 mile loop trail winds along the river and through a lush forest, passing numerous spectacular waterfall viewpoints on the way.

During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.

This easy, gorgeous trail begins at the lovely Sahalie Falls, which is just a short walk from the parking area.

Sahalie Falls is an amazing cascade that fiercely plunges 100 feet to the rushing river below.

To begin the hike, follow the Waterfalls Trail sign along the river.

Framed in emerald green foliage, the rushing river is absolutely enchanting.

Keep an eye out for little critters along the way! Here's a photo of a Stellar Jay at Sahalie Falls.

Soon you'll reach the incredible Koosah Falls, which majestically plummets 70 feet.

These amazing waterfalls splash into the water, creating mist that often catches rays of sunlight to form picturesque rainbows.

When you're ready to move on, continue along the loop trail which meanders through a magnificent old growth forest and passes numerous lovely viewpoints before connecting with the McKenzie River Trail, which will take you back to where you began.
