We have long treasured Silver Falls State Park for its natural beauty. Where else can you walk behind THREE waterfalls in ONE afternoon? After reading Portland Artist Amy Stewart's highly entertaining illustrated two-part history of the region, we have a few more reasons to appreciate this magical park.
First, learn about the region's geology; it might sound boring, but trust us, this will both blow your mind and change how you think about the ground underneath your feet (at least when you're standing in Oregon).
Second, meet the swashbuckling folks who loved this beautiful place for its natural beauty and potential to line their pockets with cash.
BONUS. A delightful deep dive into one of life's big questions: What is a waterfall anyway?
