Oregon is home to more than 200 waterfalls. While each has its own unique beauty, some require long, strenuous hikes in order to view their splendor. Here’s a hike that’s just 0.4 miles long each way, and you won’t believe the hidden waterfall you’ll find at the end.
To reach the trailhead, take Toketee-Rigdon Road off Highway 138 in the Umpqua National Forest.
The trail is less than a half mile each way, but even though this one won't take long to complete, you'll want to leave plenty of time to stop and gawk at the scenery as you go.
...one of Oregon's best waterfalls. Toketee Falls cascades down the basalt cliffs in two tiers. The first tier drops 40 feet and the second drops 80 feet.
You'll definitely want your camera for this little hike. The waterfall is so picturesque that it's often the site of marriage proposals. How could you possibly say no in a place this gorgeous?
