After visiting Smith Rock for sunrise we headed back to the Three Sisters wilderness to see Lower Proxy Falls. This waterfall is often regarded as one of the most picturesque in Oregon. The hike to the falls is quite long and leads up to a view point through a very narrow path. But the elevation gain is only slight and most part of the hike is covered. Once you reach the viewpoint you will have to scramble through a steep slope to get to the base of the falls. Once you get to the base of the falls it’s difficult not to get impressed by the sheer size of this beautiful waterfall with its 226 ft vertical drop.

We spent quite a bit of time here enjoying the amazing falls and vivid greens of the forest. This is another must visit location for any waterfall lover.
