A Journey to Oregon's Third Highest Waterfall

Immerse yourself in the serenity of Oregon's natural wonders with this silent hike to Watson Falls. Inspired by the captivating work of Kraig Adams, this video unfolds like a meditative journey through the lush Umpqua National Forest.
Prepare to be captivated by the cascading power of Watson Falls, Oregon's third tallest. Witness the cascading water plunge over a dramatic 293-foot cliff, surrounded by a cathedral-like amphitheater of ancient basalt columns. Breathe in the fresh air as you navigate a moderate trail teeming with lush greenery - towering Douglas firs, delicate maidenhair ferns, and vibrant vine maples.
This easy 0.8-mile loop trail is perfect for solo adventurers, families with young children, or even well-behaved canine companions. Take your time soaking in the sights and sounds - or lack thereof in this silent video - as you reach the designated viewing area offering breathtaking panoramas of the falls. Whether you're seeking a quick nature escape or a peaceful addition to your Oregon itinerary, Watson Falls is a hidden gem waiting to be explored.

Hi Mr. Zoomdak what? I was curious about your music...so fresh I have never heard of.... Do you produce music by yourself? Are you a classical music composer? You nailed right sounds at the right moment. Anyway, Watson falls is elegant at the first glance, but I had to take it back as I watch your aerial footage. Wow the water force from that height is remarkable. I have been chasing waterfalls for a quite bit. When i see the waterfall right in front of me, I freeze....my eyes are glued at it It gives me goosebumps for that significant water flows from the above...the surrounded by the mist... I thank YOU. Sorry for my belated comment. This vid must be uploaded after I checked your channel.

[@Zoomdak]

Thanks so much for your response, and apologies for my delay. Been going through a bit of a depression lately. My dad produces music, plays piano, so I include his music every so often. I recently put up a concert of hikes and his piano if you search "Zoomdak 1 Hour of Cinematic Hiking Videos". But I subscribe to Storyblocks to get music. Thanks for your kind words and feedback. Hope you are feeling okay after that fall near the waterfall!

[@SeniorHiker77]

That falls pretty high up there.

[@Zoomdak]

It really is, was amazing to be able to explore it from the drone perspective!

[@509trailblazers5]

One of my favorite falls. Did you make it over to Toketee? How about the hot springs

[@Zoomdak]

Toketee a few hour earlier yup! No hot springs this time unfortunately. When is the last time you were in this area?

[@509trailblazers5]

@@Zoomdak I was there last month

[@Zoomdak]

@@509trailblazers5 Sooner than the last time I was there! I bet it was flowing much stronger than what I filmed here last August.
