Proxy Falls, AKA Lower Proxy Falls, is a dazzling cascade waterfall hidden in the Three Sisters Wilderness. It’s near McKenzie Pass and McKenzie River in the Willamette National Forest, Oregon. It’s for sure, one of the most stunning Oregon waterfalls and one of the best Oregon photography locations. Furthermore, it is one of the must-do...
What beautiful photographs! Proxy Falls really seems to be my kind of destination with all the beautiful scenery. I am glad that the hike was relatively easy because then I have the opportunity to visit the destination, my condition is unfortunately not what it should be after “lock down”. Thank you for sharing!ReplyCancel
Proxy Falls seems very tranquil and looks perfect for a relaxing spot to recharge. The photographs you took are just fantastic! The hike also looks like the perfect amount of adventure. Your guide was very detailed and makes it simple for one to visit Proxy Falls and know exactly where to go and what to do. I am quite the nature lover and will make a point to visit Proxy Falls sometime soon. Thanks for sharing! ReplyCancel
I am not much of a hiker but when there is such a beautiful waterfall at the end of it, I am willing to go the extra mile. This is such a helpful guide to get to the Oregon Proxy Falls with the extra tips for getting the best shots. I love clicking waterfalls and all your tips are so helpful. I had no idea I could take a long exposure shot with my iPhone. I am definitely going to try in next time.ReplyCancel
I love waterfalls and so bookmarking your post as all three of them are really stunning. Good to know that Proxy Falls, AKA Lower Proxy Falls, is a dazzling cascade waterfall hidden in the Three Sisters Wilderness. Even the Willamette National Forest in Oregon looks amazing place for nature lovers like me.ReplyCancel
Amazing outdoors Oregon has and I am very jealous of your van journey! I am doing a road trip but I am traveling with 3 dogs. Are there regulations for pets in this area? Can I trek/hike with them or do I need a special permit? Some of the parks in the US require them to be on leash. My dogs are really adventurous and are used to the outdoors so I would love them to be free during hikes as much as possible. Thank you for your tips!ReplyCancel
The falls are definitely beautiful – but I was mainly impressed by the way you took shots of the waters. There are all those falls called “veils” – in your pictures, the water actually does look like veils made from finest lace. Therefore, I was grateful for the clear photo instructions. Now I only need a waterfall to practice 😉ReplyCancel
Well, you weren’t kidding when you said this was a stunning spot! The Oregon Proxy Falls look like the dream destination to spend some time at. The easiness of the hike certainly makes this accessible to most and it is a great location to encourage appreciation of the sheer beauty of nature. Love the great photography tips as well to capture the best images of these wonderful falls.ReplyCancel
Sisters, Oregon, is an outdoor adventure dream destination – recreation paradise. It offers visitors to the area several outstanding activities to explore. You can choose from hiking trails, casual walks, cycling, mountain biking and Hoodoo Ski Area. All surrounded by the beautiful scenery of The Three Sisters, as well as other majestic mountain ranges, breathtaking...
Sister Oregon with all its natural beauty looks amazing and cannot be missed out for sure. I liked the way you stated clearly about the staying options and also the alternatives which can be explored in case of need.I believe if a reader gets such information, it makes it easy for them to plan out the trip.ReplyCancel
When I last visited Oregon, I gave myself no where near close to the amount of the time one should take to spend in such a beautiful place. I drove through Bends, and wooow it was incredible and breathtaking! The next time I visit, I’ll have to check out the handcrafts, I love to fill my home with things that I find when traveling. I’ll also have to check out the waterfall loop. I’m think we will plan this trip for summer of next year and hope that it’s not too crowded! ReplyCancel
This place looks like taken out from a movie. I would die to go there and do a ton of hiking, taking some time to appreciate the waterfalls, biking, and climbing. One thing I didn’t see (maybe I missed it) was any mention of propper areas for camping, not the RV park. Do you know if there are options for doing that safely in the area?ReplyCancel
Your posts are showing me so much about Oregon. We will definitely have to spend more time there when we are next on the west coast. And I have now added Sisters to my list of places to visit. The town looks like it would be fun to visit. The Rodeo sounds like fun but I bet we have to plan in advance for that. The McKenzie River Waterfalls Loop sounds like the perfect hike for me. And I know I will find great Oregon wine when finished!ReplyCancel
Oh wow! The photography on this post is on another level altogether! I have never heard of Sisters before, but it looks simply too amazing! I have visited Oregon a couple of times (Crater lake area), and it’s such a beautiful place, with so much greenery all around. I would love to be able to make another visit and hopefully see Sisters as well.ReplyCancel
This is such an inspiring post. The pictures of the waterfalls and the reflection of the mountain on the water are stunning. I really love the tip of visiting the metal sculptures park and chilling out drinking some wine and enjoying food at the Wine and Bistro bar. I really would like to hike in this park on day.ReplyCancel
Wow, I had never heard of Sisters before and now it has just made it to the top of my list. The Cascade Mountains looks spectacular and I would love to stay in this cute place overlooking those snow capped mountains. And the folk festival sounds interesting, I would like to visit the place around that time.ReplyCancel

Wow I’ll have to head there next time I visit my buddy in Oregon. Looks stunning! Thank you for all the relevant info for planning!
I’ve seen this beautiful waterfalls so many times but I don’t recall the name. I like waterfalls, so I will make sure to visit this falls that takes only 5 minutes walk from the parking. I wonder of they let dogs in a shuttle though.
I have been to Portland twice but both the times was unable to visit Multnomah falls because the area was shut down due to the Columbia River Gorge forest fires. One day I hope I am able to visit again. Frankly i didn’t know it was such a shot hike to the foot bridge. No wonder it is so popular amongst non hikers too! Good thing you suggested visiting early, I can imagine how crowded the place gets. Those are some excellent tips Agnes and Chris!
This post brought back great memories of our first visit to the Columbia Gorge and Multnomah Falls. That shot with the bridge is such an iconic pic! Good to know it is open right now even if the view is from the bottom. I think it might be magical to visit in the winter.
Multnomah Falls is truly gorgeous. I first found out about this destination when we were planning a road trip, but never made it out there. I like that you also included some photography tips. It is always frustrating to get there and not be able to capture the photos you had envisioned. Tips are useful in setting the right expectations
Wow! Multnomah Falls is so beautiful. This looks like something straight from a postcard. No wonder its one of the most photographed waterfalls. Happy to know that we can still visit despite the pandemic. The Benson Bridge will have to wait next time.
Multnomah Falls is definitely a stunning waterfall. I love the cloudy effect of the waterfall. I have never been to Oregon before and I have always had that in my list of places to visit. I will now ensure that I add this waterfall as part of my visit.
OMG! It is incredibly beautiful. I always like to know the legends behind various places and the concept of a woman sacrificing herself is rivers, waterfalls etc are pretty common! Too bad Benson Bridge is closed but ofcourse Covid is worse! I can’t imagine the view from there…. Must be unbelievable surreal!!! Good to know that there’s a shuttle operating for those depending on public transport. Thanks for the excellent photography tips too.
Well, Multnomah Falls look truly magnificent in the pictures. Benson Bridge is one photogenic bridge. I wish I could hike to the bridge. I am sure the real version of the waterfall would be incredible. Its shape in two drop cascade makes it look uber cool. I am glad its no fuss reaching the base and the views from there are so good. Also its heartening to know that one can visit it all round the year. I would love to check out the Columbia River area as well.
