Koosah Falls & Sahalie Falls - Willamette National Forest, OR

I hiked the 2.4-mile loop which takes you on down one side of the McKenzie River on the Waterfalls Loop Trail...

...and then up the other side on the McKenzie River Trail.

Both waterfalls are impressive in their volume of water and sound. Their physicality generates quite a bit of mist.

 



This portion of the McKenzie River is not far from its headwaters.

In many places, the froth is a mixture of white and icy blue.
