With the soft, morning light shining through the deciduous growth in this Oregon state park, this vantage point provides a straight shot to a single waterfall as it flows down the side of the mountainous terrain.

This image of the South Falls waterfall was taken on the South Falls loop trail in Silver Falls State Park. I suggest parking in the Trail of Ten Falls parking lot (44.877481, -122.654952) and then heading northwest along the South Falls loop trail. As you're walking, reference the GPS coordinates and after about nine minutes (.4 miles), you'll come across the second viewing platform. Stand on the platform and face south to get this perspective of the waterfall.
