⠀ Photo by @rynotime Location: #SaltCreekFalls, 64 miles southeast of Eugene. Salt Creek creates one of the most impressive waterfalls in Oregon as it hurtles 286 feet into a gaping canyon near #WillamettePass. The size of the falls isn't terribly notable in the area, but rather the process by which the falls were formed. Glaciers scoured the valley out during the last Ice Age, then following their retreat, lava flows filled in a portion of the valley, creating the narrow canyon walls composed of columnar basalt that are now seen at the falls. Views are afforded all along the canyon rim, from the brink of the falls to the base of the falls. ⠀ Tag your Oregon photos & videos #BestOfOregon to be featured.
