Colliding Falls at the Umpqua River in an Oregon State Park

In this travel guest post for 2Backpackers.com, Andrea of the Butterflyist, shares a nature picture from an Oregon State Park in this travel photo of the day.

The more lichen that grows on a tree, the purer the air – and the trees around the beautiful Colliding Falls in Oregon’s historical Umpqua region were furry with the stuff. It’s a true example of nature being allowed to just ‘be’, rather than being polluted or ruined by humans. I loved breathing in the clean oxygen when I visited this amazing Oregon State Park and the Umpqua River in the Northwest USA.
