Diamond Creek, part of a waterfall loop hiking trail accessed at Salt Creek Waterfalls Wayside on the Willamette Pass through the Cascade Mountains, just one of several hiking trails to be found in the Willamette National Forest of Oregon. Diamond Creek as portrayed in this photograph is accessed by descending stairs, carved out of logs to the canyon below. The descent is somewhat steep, and is in need of some maintenance, but it's still easy and don't miss it. The view is not spectacular, but certainly worth seeing it. (Smile ...)
