Sahalie and Koosah Falls

Reviewed By AnitaH489 - Lodi, United States

We have vacationed in the Sisters area a couple times over the recent years and included this hike on our itineraries. Our friends actually hired a limosine the first time we went there as we were all on bicycles and without cars. We went back this summer because it's close to Sisters, it's an easy hike for a rest day off the bike and the scenery and falls are beautiful.

Tam McArthur Rim Trail

Reviewed By Brittany_11_10 - Los Angeles, United States

We started at Three Creeks Trail and went counter clockwise on the Broken Top Loop trail, so I suppose we only came down Tam McArthur Rim Trail as opposed to doing it as an out-and-back, but it was a nice walk and I wouldn't say too difficult. There is some scree hiking--if you choose the west side--(the other side was more of a hard-packed trail), but even then it was okay.  The views along the way are nice, but the views from the top are stunning; definitely try to make it to the top if you can!  You can park at Three Creeks Lake and easily find the trailhead, and from there, the path is easy to follow (minus the one section where you have a choice to take, mentioned above). It's worth it as well to check out No Name Lake, which you'll see from the top if you make it that far.  This trail is fairly exposed, so be sure to wear sunscreen and a hat. Not buggy at all in mid-August. It's a beautiful place to hike.

Hoodoo is a fantastic spot for you and your family. It is affordable, fun runs and laid back. You can even bring your crockpot into the lodge. Excellent place to spend time and they are truly committed to our community. I'm grateful they are there and for everything they do!

Proxy Falls

Reviewed By ksrich - Linwood, United States

An interesting trail to 2 wonderfully beautiful waterfalls. It says it is only 1 1/4 mile trail but after you are sure you have gone more than that, you all of a sudden find a waterfall. The trail could be rough for some people but an average person should be able to get within sight of the falls. We climbed down to the bottom of the lower falls and found it rather interesting getting back to the main trail. A very beautiful area.
