I'm from Texas. silver falls is on my list of places I want to visit. today we hiked Marymere falls and took the mount storm king trail. there is a respect you need to maintain for nature. I'm sorry to this man's family for their loss. I hope that his story helps keep someone else safe.

That’s why you don’t do that. People need to stop messing around in the PNW rivers and doing stuff like this. Neither are safe.

I was a park ranger there for several years and this is a common occurrence because nobody likes to read signs. It’s very sad going through this. That’s why I enforced the rules all the time and seem like a jerk and a mall cop. Just be safe who goes and follow the signs. We don’t like pulling bodies out. 😢

See people make fun of safety, people look down on you when you bring it up, but then eventually unfortunately bad things happen and those same people say how did this happen

Think the correct word would be jumped…not fall…

I was at a falls near Mt Baker in WA and they had a sign will all the names and ages of those who fell and died right at the fence. I think Silver Falls should do the same given how many people have fallen there

I constantly watch people go right past signs that tell them no swimming. They literally don’t care. They just do it for Instagram or whatever.
