Alsea Falls
Tucked off a backcountry byway in the Coast Range’s foothills, misty Alsea Falls cascades into a shady swimming hole, creating a lush backdrop for envy-inducing summer selfies mere steps from the parking lot. A more private pool awaits a mile upstream, where the lesser-known Green Peak Falls greets grateful hikers. Across the river, madcap mountain bikers gleefully weave through western red cedars on 12 steep miles of repurposed logging roads.
