The Canyon Trail system leads hikers along the banks of the north and south forks of Silver Creek, to 10 majestic waterfalls, including the grand South Falls (177 feet) pictured below.

gazing upon this magnificent canyon
cut by time and current in the great rock of the earth
I marvel at the power
at the beauty
at the determination of the relentless river
sculpting this majestic work
tumbling timelessly in crystal clarity
over boulder and falls
ever onward

Lovely lines…”ever onward” indeed!
Such beautiful colors! A great shot:)
Delightful, powerful fall of water! And love how the scene is enhanced by the magic colours of Autumn leaves!
When I saw the first picture, thought it is an average sized fall, but then I saw the second..It is massive falls..and people can go right below it.. Must be an awesome experience!!

Your two photos are so colourful that they looked like they were painted. Did you venture to the other side of the fall?
great waterfall with a suitable name.
Is it possible for you to choose another color as background for this form? It is impossible to where to write. 🙁

You wrote in the proper place… 🙂
Interesting that you call the falls a sculptor and, of course, you are right! Lovely views of the falls!
Hi Stine –
Thank you for visiting… 😉
To be more precise, I refer to the river as the sculptor — of many things as it flows through time. The falls in this case is the sculpture.

Lovely cadence, the rhythm flowing so much like nature, I feel I am there in your glorious poem. Pictures are awesome, water looks like it is a spirit! Is it true that Oregan is named after Oregon? Sounds like a Celestial sojourn. Lovely.
