In case you have wondered about all the brew-ha-ha regarding the Elliot State Forest, here are two classic examples. The top photo is a recent shot of the Golden Falls, the bottom is the Silver Falls. These gorgeous water falls are located in the Golden and Silver Falls State Park just on the border of the Elliot. It, too, is owned by us: The folks in the State of Oregon. Have you visited? No? Well, it is worth the trip. They are up in the Coast Range outside of Coos Bay. For closer info, just check the Oregon State Park website. The walk to each falls takes you through old growth Douglas Fir and all that comes with it. A visit anytime brings you special treats: Wildflowers, butterflies, and thunderous water falls. There is even a boulder along the trail with a full sized tree growing right out of it. It's a scenic drive and gets you out into some of the prettiest country side around. Don't miss this one!
