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.

Biking Banff
I’ve never been this far from home with my actual bike before. Very fun.
Regarding the title of this photo, this trail allows bikes, but there are some very steep sections–some of which include stairs even–that bikes don’t do well on. Hence, we locked our bikes up after just a few hundred meters into the 10+ km trail and did the rest on foot. Great trail BTW (and not crowded until the Hoodoos Overlook). Highly recommend!

We were 6+ miles into our 10 or so miles of hiking on this day when we were rewarded with this view. We had it all to ourselves for about two minutes and then 40+ people, who had merely driven to this spot, showed up. Back to the trail and Surprise Corner we went.
