These links will take you to images of the stunning waterfalls of Silver Falls State Park, Oregon. Silver Falls State Park features 10 waterfalls, including South Silver Falls, the tallest at 177-feet. Several of the waterfalls empty into a large basalt amphitheaters. The park is located in a canyon in the Oregon Cascade Mountains, east of Salem. The towering basalt cliffs were laid down in different layers, separated by layers of soil. The soil has since eroded away, leaving caverns and caves behind some of the waterfalls, particularly South Silver Falls and North Silver Falls.
