The final two stops on our trip home were Sahalie Falls and Clear Lake.
First was Sahalie Falls.
This one was so full of water I had to be very careful with my camera. The mist was very heavy. If you were to stand in one spot too long you would soon be wet!
Here's a couple views from the top.
Getting to this point made me a little nervous.
It wouldn't be hard to get a little closer and accidentally fall or slip. And then it would be all over! Over the top of the falls, that is.
After that we stopped at Clear Lake, just a few short yards up the McKenzie Highway from Sahalie Falls.
Hard to tell here, but that is a Barrow's Golden Eye Duck.
There he is in the middle of the lake, I'm sure enjoying the view, as we are.
A big covered picnic area. There is a fireplace and two large tables inside.
A plaque in the fireplace I believe has a 1937 date on it. It's rather worn and faded and next to impossible to read.
When the weather gets a little warmer we'll have to revisit the area for a real picnic.
I'm looking forward to it!

I think I will take the lake! Nancy has mentioned to us to stop at Sahalie Falls before, and how beautiful it is, but dang that looks a little scary, I would have to have a rope around me! cluck cluck cluck!

If you stay on the trail you are perfectly safe. I climbed up to the top where there is no railing.
