I love the cute town of Silverton Oregon. It's right next to Silver Falls State Park, a forested canyon with over ten waterfalls. It was nice to be in nature and, afterwards, to stop at the grocery store in town for a bite to eat.

Silverton is small and easy to navigate. The city park is great for kids and some of the buildings in old part of town have murals. The grocery store in town, Roth's, has an awesome deli where you can get delicious sandwiches.
