9.95 miles of hiking • 1000' elevation gain •
I hiked solo on the Silver Falls Loop. I had never been there during winter, so it was nice to see the falls at this time of year. I proceeded from South Falls to North Falls, but I forgot about Upper North Falls on the other side of the road. I saw online that a portion of the Rim Trail had been closed in certain areas, so, in an effort to avoid the closure, I doubled back and met up with the junction to Winter Falls and proceeded to the Rim trail from there. It turned out that at least some of the closed sections were on the last segment of the Rim Trail as it returns to the Lodge area. So, I ended up walking the bike trail back to the Lodge.
