In reply to Melissa. Thank you Melissa -- it's just heartbreaking what damage the fires did in 2020. But nature always comes back. And in the meantime we can enjoy these other beautiful Oregon waterfalls, like Proxy Falls! LMK if you want more recommendations when you make your way out here!

In reply to Denise. Oh that's exciting that your friend moved here! Proxy Falls is an easy day trip from Eugene, and a longer day trip from Portland.

In reply to Taylor. Well with so many waterfalls in Oregon, it would be hard to know them all by name! Proxy Falls is one of the most instagrammable waterfalls, though, so you've probably seen it in pictures. Hope you get to check it out in person!

In reply to Yvettheworld. Haha, truth! I managed to get through the hike and exploring the trail with dry shoes, but even stepping in the creek would be worth it.

This looks like such a beautiful hike with a stunning reward! Chasing waterfalls is one of my favorite things to do and this would be a great one to add to my list. I am hoping to make it out to the West coast after things begin to return to normal, and Oregon is on the list. It is sad to hear about the other nature areas that were destroyed in fires, but am glad to hear that Proxy Falls is alive and well!
