We headed East out of Sisters on Hwy 20/126 to the Williamette National Forest. After a 30 minute drive we arrived at the Sahalie and Koosah Falls. Wow, really spectacular falls! There are two big falls (named) but the McKenzie River continuously steps down until it reaches the Carmen Reservoir. The flow and immense power reminded us of the upper falls at Yellowstone. Other that two other small groups we had the falls and trails to ourselves. The hike from parking to the lower Koosah falls is about ½ mile with a beautiful, easy trail that follows the roaring river within a few feet nearly the whole way. Again Maverick got a nice off-leash hike and even more snow play. We did have light rain on and off but were prepared and it really didn’t impact our enjoyment. Maverick was soaked and didn’t seem to mind at all. We really enjoyed these falls.
