Silver Falls

This weekend we headed out for an overnight camp out adventure. We searched high and low for a campsite in a state or federal park, but were unable to find one available. So, we settled for the Silver Spur RV park, where they had a nice piece of grass to throw down our tent. It wasn't exactly "wilderness," but we got to roast marshmallows and sleep in a tent, which was basically our purpose.
The next morning we headed down the road to Silver Falls State Park. This is a beautiful spot with 10 waterfalls. We did a two mile hike with the kids and saw two beautiful waterfalls, that we could actually walk behind and see the water from above. It was gorgeous!


We had a wonderful time! Someday we hope to go back when the kids are bigger and do the longer hike to see all the falls. Maybe when we're not carrying them on our backs!
