12.2 miles of hiking • 2000' elevation gain •
Well, October is the portion of the hunting season where rifles are used, and my wife and I plan our hikes with safety in mind. We always wear blaze orange backpack covers but tend to spend more time in State Parks or where there are plenty of people. Silver Falls is always a great place to visit at this time of year and so we went on a loop that consists of the Buck Creek and Perimeter trails. This is about a 10 mile hike but I added another trail and didn't realize how much distance it added! The result was a displeased wife, sore feet, aching lower back and getting home late! We only saw a few groups on horseback the entire day.
