Watson Waterfall,

following a river path along the Umpqua River in the
Cascade Mountains of Oregon.

Watson Waterfall is the highest waterfall in southwest Oregon.
It's also the most powerful of the waterfalls in the Umpqua Pantheon.
The Forest Service rates this hike, a mere 0.4 mile, as more difficult.
It is a steady climb, but everything is relative, and if one
desired, one could stop and view the fall at the bridge,
thereby knocking off 0.1 mile off the hike. Truthfully,
the waterfall is worth every step.
