When in Oregon

So after a hard couple days of work reading about microbes and oceanography, my first weekend finally arrived. Since Oregon is known for it's natural beauty, one of the REU students from Corvallis offered to show us around this summer. First stop: Silver Falls State Park


The park is located in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, about an hour from Corvallis.



It is home to several large waterfalls, and is Oregon's largest state park. There is a 9 mile moderate hiking trail that accesses each of the waterfalls.
