Blue Hole Trail — Attraction in McMinnville

I wouldn't really call this a trail, it's a climb! So I wouldn't recommend it to people who don't want to climb or get wet. I personally LOVED this trail! I was absolutely blown away with the amount of waterfalls here, all coming from underground! I first thought that Twin Falls was all there was but boy was I was wrong. This trail goes right under the dozens of waterfalls along the river next to Twin Falls. I love to climb around and explore so this trail was a dream.

It is the most gorgeous scenery that feels almost surreal! I would do it again tomorrow, and if I lived close, it would be my...
