Quick Take
We left Rainier behind and rolled into Silverton, Oregon, where we camped at GeerCrest Farm, booked through Hipcamp. On our first day in Silverton, we visited the Gordon House, the only Frank Lloyd Wright design in Oregon.
Places We Visited
Pick a stop to see its story and photos.
GeerCrest made Silverton feel rooted right away, with the Oregon Trail orchard history and the quieter farmstay setting.
The Gordon House gave the stop its Frank Lloyd Wright anchor and tied Silverton back to the Tallahassee leg in a fun way.
The Willamette paddle brought the wildlife-and-water day and kept the stop from being just about town and waterfalls.
Silver Falls was the obvious headline stop, with enough waterfalls packed into one park to justify the whole destination by itself.
