With more than 230 waterfalls in Oregon, you could spend years exploring all of them (and if that’s not a worthy bucket list, we don’t know what is!). But located in Silver Falls State Park, there’s a waterfall trail that takes things to a whole other level entirely. Take this gorgeous trail to see not one, but 10 waterfalls, all within a seven-mile-long loop! Are you ready to go on an adventure?

The Trail of Ten Falls is located in Silver Falls State Park. Silver Falls State Park encompasses more than 9,000 acres, and it's one of the most popular parks to visit.

This park is also widely regarded as one of the best and most beautiful in the Beaver State!
This beautiful trail makes a 7.2-mile loop through a beautiful forest in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains.

The trail is considered moderately difficult. Though it's fairly easy to traverse, you will experience an elevation change of 800 feet as you descend into and back out of the canyon.
The canyon is lush and green. You'll see moss growing on the trees, and plenty of ferns and other greenery.

This old-growth forest has some huge trees! Sometimes, the ancients fall. You'll duck underneath this huge tree that's across the trail.
You'll want to make sure you bring your camera on this hike. The waterfalls are all picturesque, set against their lush, green backgrounds.

You can also take the loop counter-clockwise, starting at the same trailhead.
The trail goes right underneath the 170-foot-tall South Falls and takes you underneath three other waterfalls as well, including Lower South, North, and Middle North falls.

Be prepared: you'll definitely get wet when walking underneath at least two of these falls! When photographing the falls, it's good to keep in mind that your gear can easily get soaked once you get up close. You'll often get some of the best photos by taking them from afar.
The waterfalls are definitely the star of the show along this trail, and you won't be disappointed.
