얌힐 카운티 주변 최고의 가족 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

The Niagara Falls Trail offers a short but steep hike with switchbacks. The trail leads to two waterfalls, which have often been confused with one another, despite neither resembling Niagara Falls. The first waterfall you encounter is Pheasant Creek Falls, a single drop that plunges into a natural amphitheater. The trail is lush and green in the summer; check reports to see if you will need microspikes in the winter.

Niagara Falls Trail leads to a picnic area where you can view the 124-foot Pheasant Creek Falls, which includes an 18-foot upper tier. A short spur at the end of the trail offers a different vantage point for the falls. The waterfall, originally named after the steep slopes of Niagara Point, was mistakenly identified as Niagara Falls on Pheasant Creek. This misidentification stuck, appearing in guidebooks and online sources. Winter and spring provide the best views, as water flow goes down during the summer and fall.

Pheasant Creek Falls, located at the end of the Niagara Falls Trail, drops about 124 feet into a steep-sided canyon. The trail, winding through a thick forest of Douglas firs, has several switchbacks. Along the way, cross footbridges over creeks and waterfalls and enjoy scenic views of the falls above Pheasant Creek.

Frieda's Pond is a small pond in a grassy area, right by the trailhead. There is a small trail that circumnavigates the small pond and makes for an enjoyable small loop.

Miller Woods Conservation Area is a 130-acre property that comprises pastures, hay fields, shady secondary woodlands, and conifer plantations featuring some old-growth Douglas firs. Used by the McMinnville School District for outdoor education, the park underwent a thinning project in 2015 to promote a more natural forest canopy. Visitors can explore a loop trail that passes through Otter Pond, crosses meadows, follows Berry Creek, and ascends to the forested K.T. Summit. There is a suggested $5 use fee, and dogs are not permitted on the trails.

The Red Hills of Dundee, which separate the Chehalem Valley from the Yamhill River basin, are renowned for their distinctive red soil. This area is popular for cultivating grapes, particularly those used in winemaking, due to the soil's unique composition, which gives the soil a rich red color.

Our Lady of Guadalupe Trappist Abbey, located in Yamhill County, Oregon, was established in 1948 in Pecos, New Mexico, by Trappist monks from Rhode Island. In 1955, the monks moved to Oregon, where the abbey now occupies 1,300 acres of forest in the Willamette Valley. The forest enhances the spiritual setting, and the monks, who live communally, balance their days with prayer, work, and contemplation. The trail on the property leads to a shrine, a space for worship and meditation, and visitors are welcome to explore respectfully.

Willamette Mission State Park is a beautiful park on the banks of the Willamette River. The park has woodland, wetland, rolling meadows, farmland and 5-miles of bike paths.
