Toketee Falls

Monday, July 27, 2015

Just a short trip down the road from Clearwater Falls lies the trailhead for Toketee Falls. Still in the Umpqua National Forest, the trail to the falls leads me past trees and the still used diversion trough for the North Umpqua and Clearwater rivers to the local hydroelectric power station. The river runs wild leading to the falls as I catch glimpses and hear the roaring through the trees. Finally I arrive at the end of the trail which overlooks the falls itself.
