Sahalie Falls

A BRIEF SUMMARY OF SAHALIE FALLS

Sahalie Falls is a powerful, but little heard of water fall along the McKenzie River in central Oregon. The destination of the falls is easy to find (right off of the road) and the intense water flow makes this spot a must stop while in Central Oregon.

The view of the Sahalie Falls visitors stand is a simple postcard shot. However, the picture above was taken down the trail about 100yds. and along on the banks of the McKenzie River. I have sat in the spot for hours just taking in the sounds and peaceful nature of the falls.

Trail Difficulty - MODERATE AND RISKY

I would rate the difficulty of this trail as a 3 on a scale of 1-5 (with 5 being most difficult). The location of this shot is an easy 200yd. walk from the Shalie Falls parking lot directly off of OR-126. The reason for rating this as a 3 is because to get to the location of this shot you have to hike down a short but serious slope to the banks of the McKenzie River. Caution at this location is paramount, as falling into the McKenzie River would be catastrophic.

Photography Tips

To get to the location of this picture, you have to walk down a slope off of the main trail and sit along the McKenzie River. There are several different compositions from this spot: wide angle, standard, or compression.

What Lens(es) Do You Need

The shot above was made by stitching together 4 shots vertically with a 24mm lens and panoramic tools. You can use anything from a 11mm to a 100mm lens, depending on the composition you are looking for.
