This Dreamy Oregon Waterfall Will Transport You to a Fairytale

Situated in central Oregon, Proxy Falls spills over the shoulder of North Sister (also known as “Faith”), one of the Three Sisters volcanic peaks. 

Cascading over 200 feet, these falls were formed by glaciers over 6,000 years ago and have since transformed into one of the most spectacular sites in America.

What makes this location so awe-inspiring is its symmetry. The stair-like formations of the falls look as if they were crafted in Tim Burton’s imagination.

Not only that, but the shimmering spring trickles down over a layer of moss so vibrant, you have to see it to believe it.

To get there, all you have to do is trek less than a mile on the Proxy Falls Trail which winds through beautiful dense forests.
