Silver Falls State Park

Today we went for a short hike at Silver Falls State Park, which is about a 50 minute drive south of Oregon City. We choose a short 2.5 mile hike as we figured that was sufficient distance for Travis. The highlights of the hike were two waterfalls that the trail actually went behind.

Hailey hiked about the first 3/4 of a mile by herself and mom carried her most of the rest of the way. Travis, however, hiked the entire distance by himself. We brought along some snacks, stopped twice along the way to eat them, and had lunch at a rustic cafe located at the trailhead when we finished. The kids slept in the car on the way home.
