Description:
This is one of my favorite stretches of the McKenzie River Trail. We will park at Koosah Falls and hike east to Sahalie Falls then loop around the back side down to Carmen Reservoir. The trail continues behind the reservoir and wanders through old growth forests sticking close to the river and includes some river wetlands. We will loose the river as it goes under an obsidian shelf to meet us at Tamolitch Falls/Pool also known as Blue Pool. After a leisurely lunch we will hike back to Koosah falls. This part of the trail has far less foot traffic than going to Tamolitch from Trail Bridge Reservoir.
