Here is another shot of the Upper Butte falls from our Oregon trip. This shot was taker directly from in front of the falls as I wanted to show the beautiful curtain form of the fall. This is one of the most memorable locations on our Oregon road trip and riding through a bone jarring stretch of forest road was totally worth it.
Hope everyone likes it..
This is one of the waterfalls you can walk behind, a nice groomed trail is maintained.
Shellburg Falls is the centerpiece waterfall in the small sliver of the Santiam State Forest along the Stout Creek canyon. The falls plunge 100 feet over a protruding basalt ledge which creates a large recess behind the falls - a surprisingly common feature for waterfalls in this area of Oregon - through which the trail traverses around the falls and then climbs to the top of the canyon. Because Shellburg Creek relies solely on rainfall to sustain its flow, it runs very low in the summer.

Let’s take a break from all the lighthouse pictures and start some of the awesome waterfalls in Oregon. We went for waterfalls on our third day and the Upper Butte Creek falls was our second stop of the day. Road to this falls in not paved and its quite a bone jarring ride to get here.
Once you park the car there is a loop trail about 1.1 miles long, going all the way to the fall. This falls provides an awesome view from the left side of the falls and then you can access a path to get to the base of the falls and actually even go behind the falls. The fall is about 20ft in height but stunningly beautiful.
If you are in the Salem, OR area please make this a must visit as this is totally worth it. Thanks for visiting hope you like this one.
