Lower South Falls (Silver Falls State Park, Oregon – August 2024)

This past Monday I found myself in Silver Falls State Park for the fourth time in my life. This was very different from the prior three trips as those were all in spring.

Pro tip: go in spring, not summer. The waterfalls have a lot more water to them in spring, the greens are greener, and the crowds are much smaller.

Wallowa Mountains sunset (August 1, 2024)

The Wallowa Mountains weren’t much to look at when we were there a week ago thanks to smoke from wildfires. However, they didn’t look half bad just after sunset.

Take off (August 1, 2024)

This guy took off at just over 8,100 feet and within minutes was well over 10,000 feet. He flies around for a few hours, lands on a different mountain, and sets up camp before doing it again the next day. He was down to some sardines and a family-size bottle of liquor on this day.
