McKenzie River Valley

3 Comments
Sahalie Falls, is the first and tallest of three waterfalls on the roaring McKenzie River.  This powerful 73 foot waterfall is broken into two segments when the river is running at its highest but is more commonly a single powerful plunge.

You can Chase Waterfalls with us by subscribing to this blog, follow us on Pinterest, and on our Facebook Page.  According to Wiki there are at least 238 waterfalls in Oregon!  I’m guessing even more than that. Wouldn’t it be grand to witness the beauty of every one of them?  With 77 waterfalls on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge alone, we’ve set out to find them all plus those in the nearby Mt Hood National Forest, Washington and beyond. And when we do we’ll share our finds with you, our guests, so you too can set out to Chase Waterfalls.

The innkeepers of the Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild are ready to share Oregon, its environment, culture, and heritage with you.  Get to know our State like a local. Whether you’re looking for a quiet escape, a world class city experience, or a new spin on business travel,  you can be assured of combining gracious hospitality with ambiance when staying at an inspected and approved Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild member Inn.

Little Multnomah Falls

Little Multnomah Falls is just upstream from its bigger, and slightly more famous, sibling Multnomah Falls but stunning in its simple beauty.

Multnomah Creek traverses a flat shelf to create 15 foot Little Multnomah Falls, seen from the viewing platform above Multnomah Falls, before leveling off and plunging over the basalt edge into the Columbia River Gorge.  Travel upstream and chase 3 more waterfalls.  Make the 6 mile loop and discover 7 waterfalls total.

And thus start a series of blog posts, Chasing Waterfalls and Waterfall Wednesday.  According to Wiki there are at least 238 waterfalls in Oregon!  I’m guessing even more than that.  Wouldn’t it be grand to witness the beauty of every one of them?  With 77 waterfalls on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge alone, we’ve set out to find them all plus those in the nearby Mt Hood National Forest, Washington and beyond.

McKenzie River Koosah Falls

Next week is the Annual Meeting of the Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild and living in Parkdale, Oregon, we have a couple of ways to get to Salem.  We are choosing the longer route for a couple of reasons: We love to Chase Waterfalls and Geocaches and document them on our Facebook page.  So we’ll head south around Mt Hood then take the McKenzie Pass Scenic Byway, Hwy 126.  These are just a few of the McKenzie River Waterfalls we hope to shoot.  If you know of any others please let me know.  We have most of the afternoon and an extra hour of daylight.

Sahalie Falls and Koosah Falls:  Two breathtaking waterfalls with foaming white water cascades in between

There are other waterfalls in the World Famous McKenzie River area and I’m not sure we’ll have time to see them all.  We’d love to hike into Tamolitch Falls (aka Blue Pool) but again, time and weather will be the deciding factor.

We invite you to discover and explore the Scenic McKenzie River area, either on foot, bike or car.  Start your journey at an Oregon Bed and Breakfast member inn on either side of this stunning drive through the Central Oregon Cascades, from Eugene or Sisters.   I hope to get some good shots and share them with you in a future post
