I had so much fun last week on my adventure, that I decided to drive to the town of Prospect for a little more hiking and waterfall enjoyment. The drive itself was amazing. To get to Prospect from Grants Pass, you take a road that has many names; Route 62, Crater Lake Highway, Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway, and my personal favorite, the highway of waterfalls. The drive and the waterfalls are supposed to get even more fabulous as you get closer to the source of the Rogue and Umpqua rivers in the Cascade Range. I however, was not the least bit disappointed. I had an incredible day and it was just over an hours drive there. We will be visiting Crater Lake in mid-May, and I just can’t wait.

The first falls I visited was Pearsoney Falls. It drops a mere 12 feet, but cascades beautifully. You can continue hiking for an overlook of The Avenue of the Boulders. These boulders were thrown from Mount Mazama, over 20 miles away, when it erupted over 7,000 years ago forming Crater Lake.  Next there was Mill Creek Falls, with a 173 foot fall. I found it difficult to find a pleasing composition due to overgrowth obstructing the view. Last but not least was Barr Creek Falls, with a height of 240 feet. I found it to be more graceful and beautiful than Mill Creek Falls. We are going to the coast this weekend for our first Oregon camping trip!
