Ancient Forest Opal Blue
Sawmill Falls, in the Opal Creek Ancient Forest, deep in the Cascade Mountains above Elkhorn, OR. The ice-cold waters of Opal Creek flow down the slopes of the volcanic peaks of western Oregon, through thick stands of old-growth Douglas-Fir, Western Hemlock, and mixed fir and pine forest. Swimming holes abound, for human and canine alike, if you're up for the long slog first by car and then by trail. One of my favorite spots in my home state.
