Latourell Falls - Oregon

Today I took the family on a hike to see some of Oregon's beautiful waterfalls. Latourell Falls is actually one of Oregon's three tallest falls with a height of 249 feet.

A short hike from the parking lot will bring you down to the base of the falls.

After viewing this beautiful waterfall, we headed up the trail to the upper falls. The hike was pretty steep, but the kids did great. After traveling about a mile up the mountain through some of the most georgeous forest, you reach the upper falls. I'll have to post pictures of the upper falls another time. I didn't get any good shots, which is a shame because I liked the upper falls much better. Maybe next time I'll bring my tripod up.
