Table of contents

Silver Falls Trail is a delightful hike suitable for the whole family. It takes you into a fascinating canyon with a waterfall so close you can touch it. The way up is all stairs, so while it’s not a very long hike, you will need to be able to climb lots and lots of steps to get there. Expect light traffic on this hike.

If you’re searching for a fun, family-friendly hike (especially one near Silver Falls Campground), Silver Falls Trail is the one! This hike takes you into a canyon to a waterfall that you can get close enough to touch. The hike isn’t too hard, but you should be able to climb many steps to complete it.
