We sure never knew there was so much to see in Oregon. The list is growing quite long for when we get back to the west coast. Good to know the Tamolitch Blue Pool hike is easy to moderate. Although I am sure it would take me more than 90 minutes with so many great photo stops. That deep blue water sure is stunning. Especially when highlighted by the fall colours.
Thanks for the details about Tamolitch Blue Pool. The water here looks pristine. Good to know that the hike is short even though it is not too easy, and always happy to know that it is family friendly too. 2.8 deg C water? Whoa, that’s cold. I really wouldn’t even dip my toe in in it! Indeed it looks like a fairytale with all those mossy trees! Gorgeous trail.
Oh wow! What a gorgeous place. I know you said not to swim, but I am sure that a lot of people do when the weather is warmer. It looks so tempting to jump right in!
Wow, Tamolitch Blue Pool looks like a beautiful hidden gem! I always admire your photos. It reminds me of a larger version of Big Dismal in Florida. It is formed by a sinkhole, except its depth reaches about 300 feet! Deceivingly deep! These natural craters are truly magnificent.
That’s such an amazing view from the cliff, with all the fall foliage. Volcanic regions always have the best landscapes. Thank you for all the heads up about the water and the slippery rocks. Could probably save somebody’s life.
Wow! That’s a deep blue color and it’s beautiful. It’s nice that it’s free and one but I hope they are able to preserve this wonderful place once more people come in. Happy to know too that dogs are allowed since I love hiking with my furbaby. Looking forward to visiting in the future.
OMG – the Blue Pool is a photographer’s delight. I most definitely would want to opt for this part of the Oregon trail . Good to know that there is camping there for I think I would like to see this place at different times of the day. You have some stunning pictures there. Am totally envious.
Tamolitch Blue Pool in Oregon is really a spectacular sight with that pristine deep blue water. I loved small waterfalls on it and therefore this whole scene is very photogenic. Good to know that this deep blue pool was created due to volcano. Good you shared swimming is not encouraged here as water is very cold and we cannot ask for help due to less mobile coverage. I would love to camp at Blue Pool Campground in Middle Fork Ranger District as surroundings is very beautiful here.
I’ve read about this blue pool a lot – it seems to be a famous destination. I am now adding it to my US road trip list. It seems like I need a full 4 weeks just for Oregon! Anyway, do you need proper hiking shoes for this hike or sandals are ok? I usually just use my good hiking sandals but I’ve been told it won’t be enough for the blue pool hike? Thanks for your tips!
Well it is easy to see why you say the Tamolitch Blue Pool Hike is one of the prettiest and one of the best hikes in Oregon. It is just so gorgeous! I just love the deep blue, but would never be game to go swimming there given the temperature. Beautiful 3-hour return hike thought and a great tip about getting there early.
