Smith Creek Loop at Silver Falls

Eileen Harder | Published on 7/18/2023

This 9+ mile hike had just the right amount of elevation and "ups and downs" throughout the hike.  The trail was in great shape (thanks in no small part to the trail maintenance crew we met in the parking lot) and edible berries were everywhere! This loop will definitely be added to my hike rotation.  It was a delight to hike with the following folks: (l-r) Bev Hassell, Kathleen Hynes, Martin Doerfler, Eileen Harder (leader), Mary Liepins, Roz Shirack, Chris O'Brien, Mark Ferguson and Mary Coleman.
