Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this hike? I'm thinking of taking my 10-year-old son.

A: There isn't a strict age limit, but the hike is considered moderate intensity. It’s generally suitable for kids who are used to hiking. Just keep in mind that it might be a bit challenging for younger ones, especially if they're not used to longer hikes. Bring plenty of snacks and water, and the guide can adjust the pace if needed!

Q: What happens if it rains on the day of the hike? Do they cancel?

A: They do hike in light rain because it makes the waterfalls even more beautiful! However, if the weather is severe, they will reschedule. You’ll get notified ahead of time, so you won't be left in the wet. It's always good to check the forecast before heading out!

Q: What do we need to wear for the hike? Any recommendations?

A: Definitely wear comfortable, moisture-wicking clothes and sturdy hiking shoes. You'll be around waterfalls, so things can get a bit wet! A light jacket is a good idea too, just in case it gets chilly. Don’t forget your hat and sunscreen!

I did the Silver Falls hike last weekend and WOW, it was incredible! The guide was super knowledgeable about the area’s natural and cultural history, which made the 3-hour hike really engaging. We got to walk behind one of the waterfalls, and the views were breathtaking. Plus, lunch was really nice – a perfect picnic with good snacks! Highly recommend for anyone looking to get outdoors near Portland.
