As a last minute decision at the end of the year in 2012, a friend and I took a quick flight North and then drove home. On the way, we stopped in Salem, Oregon to view several breathtaking sights along an awesome hike called "The Trail of Ten Falls". If you are ever in the area, I highly suggest making the stop to see these gorgeous landmarks. We drug my mom along with us for the hike and she is not a hiker. Somewhere beyond 3/4 through she was cursing at us like a sailor and suggesting we just leave her and save ourselves but in the end she made it the whole way. I was very proud of her and I think she was proud of herself. So be forewarned. It is not for the faint of heart, but definitely worth the walk.
