Surrounded by wildflower-coated meadows and lush forestry, Rainbow Falls kind of feels too pretty to be true. Giant boulders sit at the foot of the falls, sounding out in crashing waves.
A gift from Mother Nature to you, when the sun shines just right, rainbows burst out of these falls. It’s almost like fairies should be dancing out of the meadows and leprechauns through the forest. Truly, it’s quite surreal here. After Silver Falls warms you up, a trip to Rainbow Falls is an absolute must.
