Heads up

Know before you go

A string of deep emerald pools, cliffs, and grottoes on the Little North Santiam in the Willamette NF. Day-use area; NW Forest Pass. ~50 min from Salem.

☀︎ First-timer tip: The clearest, most jaw-dropping swimming holes near Salem — go on a weekday, it packs out. Cliff jumping is popular but check depth first.
