The drive

Oregon 214 climbs from Silverton into Silver Falls State Park, home to the Trail of Ten Falls. The drive runs from Silverton to the south end of the park, passing the North Falls trailhead before the turn to South Falls, a trip of about 16 miles.

The road is a gentle country two-lane that ends at the day-use area near South Falls. The park's best-known hike is a roughly 8-mile loop past ten waterfalls, with a shorter option to South Falls alone.
