Today we went to Silver Falls State Park and walked a trail loop along the Silver Creek that went past six waterfalls and two trickle/seep falls. Lots of shade, birdsongs and greenery. The water in the creek reflected the silvery morning light. Just a beautiful hike. The trail took us behind three of the waterfalls. There are more waterfalls in the park but we took the short loop. Definitely a place to go back to. There is some kind of lodge and some campgrounds in the park. Maybe we will recruit some company for our next visit. Any takers?We will spend the night in Ontario, Oregon- right on the Idaho border. If we have time tomorrow, we may take the scenic drive along the Snake River near Twin Falls. Then we’ll push for home. Home to see what has died and what is thriving in each garden, finally see the Tommy and Jonah (who were too jet-lagged to visit before we left) and be amazed at how much Little J has changed in just two weeks. Home to get ready for the next trip. Since we wish we could stay on vacation, we will probably feel like our Glacier trip came just in time!
Here are some pictures from our day, including a view of the back side of water- but better than the view on the Jungle Cruise.

Holy cow! Pick me, pick me, pick me!!! That looks incredible!
Next trip: Oregon!! :)
I am so excited for our Glacier trip, especially with everything that has been going on here. I'm ready to get out of here and just enjoy myself for a while!
Um, hello, Liz always gets to go. Move over and let the rest of us have a turn! Looks beautiful. Maybe someday we'll make it out there.
Any time you want to plan a trip we'll go with you. There are lots of places besides the park we went to, but we could try to put together something there; maybe reserve a couple of cabins or camp sites. Lets bring our calendars to the reunion and pick a date to go somewhere pretty next summer. Maybe Dad and I could drive out and pick people up at the Portland airport if you don't have time for a road trip.
We want to come too!!!!
