Iceland 2022

East Fjords of Iceland at Sunset | Christopher Lisle © 2022.

Returning in October this was my third time visiting Iceland. By late fall the height of tourism has subsided and the weather is on the edge of turning into winter.

Silver Falls II – Christopher Lisle

I wanted to revisit Silver Falls State Park which I had visited in April of 2018. Mid June turned out to be perfect timing with good foliage coverage and still ample water running. Some of the smaller falls on the trail were turning into a slow trickle. Did the full loop but was surprised by […]

Salmonberry

Salmonberry Rail Trail - Christopher Lisle 2020

Miles of Salmonberries cover the riverside near Nehalem where an old rail line washed out years ago. In Feburary of 2016 I had made my first visit and it was exciting to see the growth from the past 4 years. Soon this trail will be gone if no further maintenance occurs. After the December 2007 […]
