William L. Sullivan, Oregon hiking book author, reveals location of Broken Top's scenic lake. One of the most scenic places in the Oregon Cascades, the lake in the crater of Broken Top in the Three Sisters Wilderness, has finally landed in one of William L.

William L. Sullivan, Oregon hiking book author, reveals location of Broken Top's scenic lake

Sullivan's hiking books. So why was the Eugene author, often referred to as Oregon's "hiking guru," holding out on us all these years? Blame it on the U.S. Forest Service, Sullivan responded good-naturedly. "In the past I hesitated to feature Broken Top's crater in '100 Hikes in the Central Oregon Cascades,' " he said. "Guidebook authors face a certain amount of risk when sending people on unmarked routes. The hike to the awesome lake, which laps against Broken Top's colorful cliffs for the few weeks it's not frozen, is covered in Sullivan's fourth edition of his hiking guide to central Oregon. "By now this particular unofficial trail has become so clear and so popular that it's time to let everyone in on the secret," said Sullivan, adding that he has other secrets not fully revealed in his five guidebooks. -- Terry Richard.

20 Favorite Oregon Hikes. Oregon. Central oregon. Diamond Creek Falls, Lane County, Oregon. Diamond Creek harbors a pair of large waterfalls, and fortunately at least one is easily accessed.

Diamond Creek Falls, Lane County, Oregon

Here, Diamond Creek runs across a steep cliff where the creek widens to a good 75 feet as it veils 120 feet down jagged, grooved basalt formations. Because of the channeled, roughly domed shape of the falls, foreshortening and perspective perception changes dramatically between the different viewpoints. From the bottom of the falls, the width appears much more significant than the height of the falls, but when viewing the falls from above, the height becomes quite apparent. Most sources cite this waterfall as standing about 90 feet tall, but topographic maps show a well-defined drop of about 120 feet, and I am much more inclined to believe that figure until a definitive number can be reached. Willamette National Forest - Salt Creek Falls Trail/ Diamond Creek Falls Loop. The Salt Creek Falls / Diamond Creek Falls Loop is an excellent snowshoe destination due to the lower elevation and often icy conditions.

Willamette National Forest - Salt Creek Falls Trail/ Diamond Creek Falls Loop

Cross-country skiers would most enjoy this route after a fresh snowfall. From the Salt Creek Sno-Park, you can travel to Salt Creek Falls, Oregon’s second highest waterfall at 286 feet, and Diamond Creek Falls at 100 feet. To begin, follow the road out of the Sno-Park toward Salt Creek Falls Observation site. From the parking lot of the Observation site, follow the marked trail crossing the Salt Creek Bridge to a trail junction. Be extremely careful crossing the bridge, especially under icy conditions. Willamette National Forest - Marilyn Lakes Loop. This route follows the Gold Lake Road approximately a half mile, then descends westward on a marked trail to the south end of Upper Marilyn Lake.

Willamette National Forest - Marilyn Lakes Loop

Here, the route skirts the eastern shore of Lower Marilyn Lake on its way northward to Gold Lake. At the junction, just north of Lower Marilyn Lake, you have a choice of three alternate routes back to the Gold Lake Road: Turn right and follow the trail traversing the east shore of Upper Marilyn Lake and up a rather steep grade to Gold Lake Road; Turn left, follow the trail north to Gold Lake Shelter; or Turn left, follow the trail north for a short distance, turning right at a trail junction, and follow the marked trail east to Gold Lake Road.

This latter route avoids the uphill grade on your return trip back to Gold Lake Sno-Park. On a clear day, there is a good view of Diamond Peak from the north end of Upper Marilyn Lake.
