Muddy Boots & Magical Views: Abiqua Falls Hiking Adventure

Slipping, sliding, and laughing our way down the notoriously muddy trail as Cole and TJ competed for who could get most spectacularly dirt-covered! What started as a careful hiking adventure quickly devolved into an impromptu mud wrestling match that left our boots twice their normal weight and our clothes looking like Jackson Pollock paintings. The effort proved entirely worthwhile when the majestic curtain of Abiqua Falls came into view, its thundering cascade drowning out our exclamations of awe. Drone footage captured the falls' perfect horseshoe formation from above while we scrambled over moss-covered boulders below, somehow managing to keep our cameras mud-free even as we looked like creatures from a swamp monster movie.
