Koosah Waterfall on the McKenzie River:

Hiking on the Waterfalls Loop Trail on the wild & scenic McKenzie River in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon.

This view of Koosah Waterfalls can only be had on the McKenzie Waterfalls Loop Trail, a mere 3.3 miles of scenic beauty, following the course of the McKenzie River beginning at Carmen Reservoir downstream from Koosah Waterfall upstream along the river to Sahalie Waterfall & then the bridge. I prefer crossing at Carmen Reservoir & walking upstream on the other side of the river, you may prefer doing just the opposite. No matter, it's all beautiful.

Forward ~ ... & Sahalie Falls hiking along
the wild & scenic McKenzie River.

Back ~ Hiking upstream on the
Waterfalls Loop Trail.
