District pays teacher accused of grooming to resign
Good evening, Salem.
Rangers at Silver Falls State Park are offering two free hikes on New Year's Day if you want to start 2025 in nature.
Hikes will leave at 9 and 11 a.m. from the North Canyon trailhead, near mile point 28 on Highway 214. The parking lot is three miles north of the popular South Falls day-use area.
The theme for the 9 a.m. hike is Lichens of Silver Falls and visitors will get a chance to explore the amazing diversity of lichens found at the park. The theme for the 11 a.m. hike is Sense and Sensibility and will focus on using all of the senses during the hike.
Parking fees are waived at all state parks on New Year's Day. Anyone with questions or accessibility needs can contact Park Ranger Matt Palmquist at 503-689-5122.
