Hiking in the Willamette
National Forest:

If you stop to take in Salt Creek Falls and have a little time, hike, cross
country ski or snow shoe on the Salt Creek Falls Hiking Trail. The trail offers some amazing views of Salt Creek and Diamond Creek Canyons.

Map: Cross Salt Creek to the trailhead:

The trail is clearly marked, head upstream along the creek and cross
the bridge. Turn right and this waterfall will be the second or third sight of significance on the hike. Second if you don't count the view you get of Salt
Creek Waterfalls from above. The first is Too Much Bear Lake. There
are two or three viewpoints of this waterfall from the trail.

I have not done this because I always thought the trail that went off
to the left here was the trail to Vivian Lake, but it is possible to hike down into the canyon and view the waterfall from that perspective. The trail is steep, following a series of steps created out of hewn logs, but this waterfall is beautiful. This photograph does not do it justice, not by any means.
