Sahalie falls mckenzie river oregon This is a short and beautiful hike to a waterfall. Located along the McKenzie River in Oregon, this thundering, 100-foot cascade doesn’t just fall—it explodes over a lava cliff in a misty, roaring spectacle. But if you feel this is too much or you’re just pressed on time, each waterfall has its own parking lot. Sahalie Falls is located by the McKenzie River in the Cascade Mountains along route 126. The McKenzie River connects the two falls and is the bluest and clearest water I’ve ever seen (and I’ve been to Iceland). Drive down a long private road, set off of the HWY, to find a riverfront cabin amidst the lush Willamette National Forest. Sahalie Falls is an easy stop, but the impact of the view is anything but small. The falls plunge a sheer 73 feet over an overhanging exposure of basalt into a huge basin which captures the mist ejected from the falls and turns it into a hurricane directed straight at the viewpoints for the falls just downstream. Accessible restrooms with vault toilet at Sahalie Falls only; Sahalie Falls observation deck is wheelchair accessible (approach from the Sahalie Falls parking lot) Willamette National Forest - McKenzie River Ranger Station; No fee or permits needed; Directions: Northeast of McKenzie Bridge off Hwy 126. Koosah & Sahalie Falls are both part of the Waterfalls Loop Trail. tta xlin flcmfrj vlic fcef sihie mjhvr eawbliw kgpvjd wmisqn
