Crystal was ready to go and when she found out she was heading up to Clear Lake, she put on her fall finery.

The headwaters for the McKenzie River begin at Clear Lake.

It's famous for the clear water making it possible to see to the bottom of the lake.


Early in September, the leaves were beginning to change.

Disclaimer: I the Great and Beautiful Danny Bleu did in fact visit this falls. However, you will not see my picture in front of either of the falls. The falls were really, really noisy, spooky noisy and I didn't like that and there was like a gazzillion people around. Who knew that many people fit on a mountain top?



Salahie Falls, Chinook jargon for "high", is one in a series of three falls created from lava flows on the McKenzie River.


They are classified as segmented falls, meaning the river splits up before it drops, and it drops approximately 100 ft.


The skunk cabbage were in full bloom nestled amongst the velvety soft moss.

Crowded, but definitely a must see.
