Description

Added by Scott Sichler

Easy waterfall hike at Cascadia State Park.

Soda Creek Falls flows 150 feet down a curvy basalt rock groove at Cascadia State Park. The trail follows Soda Creek through a lush Oregon rain forest. The site was a former hotel and health spa with the mineral water from the creek as the main attraction. The park has a small campground, and picnic area. The nearby Santiam River offers swimming and fishing.

Cascadia State Park is 14 miles east from Sweet Home on Highway 20. The trail is between the two day use parking areas and follows the creek North.

Hiked on 6-18-2021 and took less than an hour. We had the waterfall to ourselves! The trail had some elevation, but well maintained. Definitely recommend!

This boulder is to the right of Garden Variety...if you know then you know.An excellent problem with a lot of movement. Works up the stand alone prow near Garden Variety. Start low and heal out right on a good ledge. From there work up to the inverted V pinch and left to the arete. From there it is a long committing move to the slopers on the top.

Early on there is a creek crossing (the bridge was still washed out as of March 2015). At the fork in the trail, keep right. The trail gains steady elevation, wi...

Tamolitch Blue Pool

The hike out to Tamolitch Pool, or "Blue Pool," is 2 miles each way and follows the McKenzie River to a lava flow pool. Off Highway 126 14 miles east of McKenzie Bridge, turning into the Trailbridge Campground, drive right 1/3 of a mile to the trailhead.
