8.3 miles of hiking • 500' elevation gain •
It was a beautiful rainy day at Silver Falls State Park. It was nice to see water puddles on the ground and rain falling from the sky. We started out at the South Falls parking lot and then visited the South Falls before heading into the backcountry. We ended up hiking the Howard Creek Loop trail and saw no people! There were plenty of people in the campground and on the campground trail but they didn't venture into the backcountry. :) It was a relatively easy hike, even with my bum knee and shoulder!
